This action is in line with one of the RFCs (I forget which one, and could
look it up but I don't have the time right now).

Most SMTP servers identify the beginning of a message in an SMTP stream by
looking for the word 'From' at the beginning of  a line. Not 'escaping' an
additional line beginning with from would cause the message to be broken off
at that point.
