As others have said, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell if the > was
inserted by the writer of the message or the mailing software.
I don't know if any software actually does this, and I know how some
people *loathe* Quoted-Printable, but it seems to me that Q-P could
actually solve this problem. If the "F" in the beginning of a "From "
line was converted to "=46", it would not be mistaken for a message
separator by the receiving software, but a Q-P aware mailer (like Yarn)
would convert it back to the exact form in which it was typed.
