What some Sendmail configurations *do* eat is lines that start with 'From ' (no
colon). Those will get escaped as '>From ...'  to prevent them from looking
like a separator line for what's known as 'mbox' format - which is basically
the same info as in the Return-Path: header plus a timestamp. They look like:

(If the above line has a >From, you have the issue.  Yes, it could be smarter
and do a full parse for a mbox header rather than just '^From '.  And yes, I
had to go digging to find an old archived mbox format file to snarf the example
from.
