That's a pity because I would really like Emacs to send and receive
mails as intended. I have now constructed a self-contained test case:

a) $ emacs -Q
b) C-x m
c) write a mail with the following occurring in the message body,
   at the beginning of a line and without quotes: "From me to you!"
d) use any recipient and subject, and use C-c C-c to send the mail
e) select "transport" and hit RET (this requires sendmail)
f) the recipient will receive ">From me to you!".

Maybe there is any way to make this work is intended?
