to be more specific: the FINAL server STORING the mail, usually the
POP-toaster you're accessing to (which of course must have a
SMTP-input too :-)) CAN add the ">" at the beginning of line with a
"From" as first word.
This is used usually because the unix-mailbox-format looks like this:

Where I inserted the "/\"-line the first message is over. The POP-toaster
knows you're using to retrieve your mail knows because of THAT
"\n\nFrom email@domain Date and Time\n"
format when a new message starts.
To prevent it from stating a "new message" when a line in the MAIL
starts with "From" a ">" CAN be suffixed when STORING/WRITING the mail
to disk. All SMTP-Servers do not need this prevention, because they
NEVER transfer two or more mails at one because a message MUST end
with "\n.\n" when SMTP-transferred.
So the "guilty" one is the last, mail-storing, server in the
mail-way-through-the-net-chain :-)
Hope I was able to make me understood :-)
