A From line will be added if the message is to be stored in a mbox-style file, but not if it's to be stored in a Maildir, where emails are stored as individual files. The From_ line in an mbox file serves as the demarcation between emails and is used by email clients to break the file down into component emails, which, of course, isn't an issue if the emails are stored in separate files.
Maildrop takes care of this automatically, depending on the delivery instructions provided. You don't have to deal with the issue directly.
