Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-5
Severity: normal

If a mail contains a line starting with the word "From" in the body, procmail
escapes this to become ">From", this is correct bevaviour when using a 
convoluted
mailbox storage scheme such as mbox (the default) but is incorrect and very
annoying behaviour when the mailbox is in Maildir format (and possibly other
formats), as I end up seeing lines such as;

"Hi,                                                                            
                                                                                
  
                                                                                
                                                                                
 
>From last June, I had been running beta's and release candidates of sp2 in"

in mutt, and even worse things like GPG signatures break down because the body
of the mail has been unneccessarily modified and the hash breaks.
