Do those lines actually occur raw in the mbox files? Because this is
the standard, well-known mbox design flaw, but the solution is typically
for clients to write ">From" instead of "From " when adding messages to
the mbox.
If mutt writes those lines raw, then Sup may have to be more heuristic
in my mbox scanning. OTOH, we've had a large number of Sup users who
come from mutt (including me!), and I think you're the first who's
complained of this.
