In a format=flowed context, there is a canonical way for sending
user agents to avoid the ">" quoting of From_ lines:  Space-stuff
them.  Mutt does deal properly with space-stuffing these lines;
going down the route of arbitrary heuristics once again would be
just about the one thing that space-stuffing is supposed to *avoid*.

Hence, I'd object to any heuristics about From_ lines in the
format=flowed handler.
