Rmail, with sendmail-user-agent as the sending MUA.

That wasn't clear originally, but later I sent "From" in an
attachment, and didn't see any ">From" in the received email.  I also
don't think there's a need to do anything with "From" in an
attachment, since attachments are encoded.

I see >From and >>From etc. in the attachments, but I don't understand
how the > part appeared there in the first place: attachments cannot
be possibly taken for the beginning of another email.
