Too verbose:
sed 1q
works fine since "From " is the first line.
However, that's the envelope. May well _not_ be the author after passing through a
mailing
list or gateway. If you want the "From:" line:
sed -n '/^[Ff][Rr][Oo][Mm]:/p'
will do the trick.

far less important than knowing your weak points.
