Re: Test mail - variations on a theme of From

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

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
