Lines which begin with "From " (i.e. the word From, capitalized and
followed by a space) are message separators in various mailbox file
formats. Thus, various mail programs will escape such lines in message
bodies so they aren't mistaken as message separators. The most common
method of escaping is preceding the line with '>' which is what was done
here.
This is intentional by design and is not a bug.
