This one is no mystery and has a very simple explanation. Some MTAs
will add a '>' to the beginning of lines that start with the word
'From' because in "Unix MTA speak" (some, not all) the word "From"
at the start of a line denotes the start of a new message header
set. I'm not sure which MTA did the deed though.

- From <<< this line is a decoy to see if we can entice a routing MTA
to adorn it. My MTA here at silverstones.com doesn't. It may be the
mailman server that is doing it. It may be only some folks' routing
MTAs on the way out of mailman. We'll see.
