OK, this explains the last occurrence I mentioned, which is the only one
taken from my ~/Mail/sent. But the other occurrences are part of the
mails that were actually sent to the mailing list, and certainly the ">"
should occur in any sent mails only if it was also intended. In other
words, there should be a difference whether I start a paragraph with
"From" or ">From" in terms of what is actually sent as e-mail.

Thank you for looking into this!
