The right angle-bracket is inserted at the beginning of a line that starts
with From by Sendmail.  It does this in order to ensure that email with line
starting with From are not confused with the start-of-message line that
Sendmail uses for internal storage.

The fact that this behavior is visible in mail being relayed through SMTP is
a bug in Sendmail.
