I don't think this is a random process, as far as I now POP-Toasters
do not use random functions :-)
But one possible explanation could be GMX uses (little) different
configured mail-servers (AFAIK they've got more than one *g*).
A seconf could be: the message is forwarded from GMX to a final
POP-account which introduces the "y".
Third is: the mail with the ">" is somewhere leaving the SMTP-way of
transporting (UUCP somewhere in the line, or a SMTP-forwarder like
serialmail http://cr.yp.to/serialmail.html).
I don't know the exact cause why some of your and Nicks mails get
"changed", that should be intensively examined.
But it's definitely the case PURE SMTP does not need the ">", so
either it's a "misbehaving" SMTP-Server (maybe a Mickey$oft-product?
*G*) or yours and/or Nicks mails leave the SMTP-path somewhere in the
outer space :-)

I never got a mail in this thread with the ">From" line (except a
reply!) in it.

Geee .... Who would have expected THAT? *grin*
You mead the abbreviation of "quod erat demonstrandum" is Latin? WOW
:-)
THAT, in fact, you should have to proof *biggrin*
