[GitHub] incubator-ponymail issue #281: Enh: consider whether to optionally prefix '>...

GitHub user sebbASF opened an issue:

    Enh: consider whether to optionally prefix '>From ' lines when exporting/importing

    The code now prefixes body text 'From ' lines with '>' when exporting to an mbox file.
    This is necessary to ensure that the start of each message can be found correctly.
    However this means that a line that starts '>From ' is indistinguishable from a line that starts with 'From ' in the generated file. 
    
    A work-round for this is to prefix all lines that start with 'From ' preceeded by 0 or more '>' chars.
    This is (unfortunately) not the standard, so it may be best to make it optional. Likewise when importing messages from mbox files.
