And now I've also sent to myself a message with a MIME attachment,
where the attachment was a text that included a line that began with a
"From".  In the message I received, if I tell Rmail to show the
attachment, I see that line without any leading ">" before "From".  So
again, I'm unable to reproduce the problem you are describing.

Are you sure you are using rmail.el which came with Emacs 28?
