control:retile 737383 "Remove mbox-style From_ line before the first header 
line"

I checked this with the upstream.

Short answer:
 This is the design decision by the upstream.
 Please use "reformail -f0"

First, in the new manpage of maildir under DESCRIPTION:

  maildrop does not accept an mbox-style From_ line before the first
  header line.  maildrop does not accept leading empty lines before the
  first non-blank header line. If the message can possibly start with
  empty lines, and a From_ line, use reformail -f0 to remove any initial
  empty lines, and replace a From_ line with a proper “Return-Path:”
  header; then pipe it to maildrop.

Here is a quoted message from the upstream:

| The addition of this was announced but not included in upstream
| changelog.
|   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=31458904
| 
| Basically, if the mail server is giving maildrop a message with the
| From_ line, maildrop no longer gets rid of it. The change is to either
| reconfigure the mail server so that it no longer attaches a From_ line
| to the message, or use reformail to get rid of it.
