    I believe the same way that . is escaped at the beginning of the line in
an email message.  ;)

    I've not read the RFCs on this, if there are any, so I cannot say.
However, if I were programming such a thing and creating such a standard it
would check for (pardon regex here) m/^>+From / and if found, return the >s at
the beginning minus one.  If storing the message it would check for
m/^>*From / and add one.
