Excerpts from Christopher Warrington's message of Thu Oct 11 10:30:30 -0700 2007:

This should now be fixed in SVN. If you have any unquoted From's in
sent.mbox, you will have to manually fix them (i.e., change "From " to
">From " at the start of all lines) and run sup-sync --changed sup://sent.

This should also now be fixed. I think.

The variant where "From " at the beginning of a line signifies a new
message. Content-Lines or Content-Size or whatever the header is is
ignored.
