I believe that comes from sendmail, and is due to the nature of Unix
mailboxes and spool files. The sequence "<CR><LF><CR><LF>From" is used
to denote the beginning of a message. If this sequence occurs in the
middle of a message, sendmail is obligated to "quote" the "From" to
prevent it from being recognized as a message delimiter.

It's not your MUA (TB), it's actually there in the message on the
server.
BTW, does TB have a mechanism for logging the raw POP3 transactions, to
debug any server-side issues?
