I think some folks might not be understanding me.
When that message was originally sent by Leif, I don't think it had a ">" in front
of the word "From."
Something/someone put it there, and it wasn't Leif.

Then why doesn't my server put the same ">" in front of the word "From"
when I send that same message to myself, using Eudora?

But I have. And I just performed several tests using Eudora, and
it didn't happen with Eudora. This happens only with TB.

Okay, I'm a FNG, what does MUA mean?
Here's another related question:
Why can't I sometimes type the symbol ">" in a sentence and the
sentence doesn't immediately become highlighted (like quoted text does),
and then other times I do it, it doesn't?

Use the above as an example.
Upon typing the ">," it became highlighted, just like this sentence's
top line just became highlighted, too.
But it didn't do it when I was writing the paragraph above starting
with the word "Why."
This is getting weirder and weirder, Marck, but thanks for taking a
shot at it!
