Test mail - variations on a theme of From

This is a test mail to see how the archives deal with various From
lines in body text.

Lower case from followed by space and text with 0,1, and two '>' prefixes
Random text

from here to eternity
>from here to eternity
>>from here to eternity

Upper case From followed by space and text with 0,1, and two '>' prefixes
Random text

From Here to Eternity
>From Here to Eternity
>>From Here to Eternity

==

Lower case from followed by space and text with 0,1, and two '>' prefixes
The text has the same format as a standard mbox 'From ' line

Re: Test mail - variations on a theme of From

FTR:

mod_mbox:
- only prefixes '^From '; it does not prefix '^>From ' when writing
the mbox file.
- does not remove any '>' prefixes on display
- the 'raw' mail source is taken from the mbox file and is not de-munged.

ponymail (0.90):
- mbox download only prefixes '^From '
- display treats the prefixes as quote markers (that has been fixed)
- the source is unaffected
