The way I viewed it, was that the actual content of the 'From ' line
starts *after* the space. RFC prescribes that mail field content starts
directly after the colon, so by introducing an extra space there in case
of renaming a "From " line, would contaminate the content.
It could be argued that an exception for this case (that adds the space
there) would be ok, but I'm not sure if this still is a good idea,
considering backward compatibility. It would probably be better to
document the anomaly in the man page instead.
