User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; ja; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: バージョン 2.0.0.19 (20081209) First, you send an email like this: --- Content-Type: text/plain From - --- Open this mail with Thunderbird, and you see following message: --- >From - --- An unwanted ">" character can be seen. Reproducible: Always
That's actually normal in the 'mbox' fileformat (the original storage format used for email, still being used my Thunderbird) - The word 'from' can not be present at the start of a line, otherwise it can be confused with the start of a new message. See bug 121947 and bug 194382.
