As Marck already pointed out, it is not TB's editor but some server
along the way. The keyword From has to do with RFC headers, and some
old routers would misunderstand it if it is at the beginning of a line
(in fact, it meant "a new message begins here" in the old days).
That's why some SMTP servers will still put the ">" character in front
in order to ensure the message is send compeltely. With the new
routers nowadays, it is not necessary any more, so "From" at the
beginning of a line in the message body it is now a legacy problem,
but then.
