My goodness - have just tested with a small Python program. This is a

Off then to the Python developers world, although I find it hard to
believe I could have found such a thing, yet the evidence is there.

Won't they just tell you that a message body line starting "From " should
be escaped as ">From " in the mbox file ..?
