David>  ">From the readme-file:" (without the quotes)

David> Well, how did that ">" get there? It only happened in this one line.

According to what Kenneth Porter wrote on 8/10/2000, 8:57 PM:

The sequence "<CR><LF><CR><LF>From" is used to denote the beginning of
a message. If this sequence occurs in the middle of a message,
sendmail is obligated to "quote" the "From" to prevent it from being
recognized as a message delimiter.

A MUA may or may not compensate for this. It seems TB isn't.
