Actually, that MDA MUST do that mangling, or else your mbox will be
corrupted. That's the problem with mbox. As a workaround, the
PGP/MIME RFCs recommend that the sending MUA use quoted-printable, and
escape all From_ lines before transmitting the message. (though if
that GMX MDA was actually manging 'from' lines, then I'll agree that
it is broken)

Right. I use maildir as my delivery format, so no message mangling is
needed.

Yeah, but this didn't work for me :
au FileType mail set comments+=n:\|,n:%
My quoting is colored properly. When I run ":set comments?", I see
the % added as a comment character, but the coloring doesn't change.
Any ideas on that?
(using vim as the pager, btw)
