Hi,

I'm using mail-source in Gnus to fetch mail from IMAP.  Whenever I get a
message with a line that start with "From " this line is quoted.

This patch removes this quirk… but maybe it was there for a reason.  We
don't have the history for this modification since it is present in the
code of "mail-source.el" since its import into Emacs (in 2000).  FWIW,
'mail-source-fetch-maildir' have this part commented since 2000 also.
