Some servers tell the start of a new message by a line beginning with
the word 'From'. In order to deal with possible confusion, the '>' is
inserted to precede all instances of the word 'from' starting any line
within the message body.
Take a look at this excerpt from one of the discussion list messages
that I download from my .gmx account.
In vertical shear lesions (Tile C) I really feel no
place for Ex Fix to stop bleeding. Pelvic clamp and
emergency IS screw may help if the bleeding is only
>from the cancellous bone, their effect on the
retroperitoneal self-tamponading effect is very-very
questionable. There is a significant place for IR!
Note the '>' preceding the fourth line which happens to start with
from. This not only breaks PGP signatures, rendering the bad, but it
also triggers the colour coding for quotes if the text isn't indented
as above. The escaped line is coloured as quoted material.
