This 'From:' also was not quoted separately :-)
AFAIK this is no "The Bat!" or some other mail-client issue, but a server-side
one ... as far as i remember it can be used by servers which store the mails
finally in a mailbox to avoid misinterpreting the false beginning of a new
mail at the "From"-Line when mail-clients or the mail-poper (which is the same
in result :-) ) reads the mbox
