Hi,
`mail-header-extract' will break (i.e. find no headers) if the article
in question features "From xyz" as it's first line. This is normally
no problem - at least for the backends I use -, as Gnus correctly
rewrites this into a normal header (X-From-Line).
But somehow (with procmail, perhaps even by using peculiar backends)
one can trick Gnus to read an article with an initial From line. Is
this strictly verboten anyway, or should `mail-header-extract' be
changed to grok the From as a special case.

Yes -- but does Gnus use `mail-header-extract' for anything?

Probably not. But I do. So what should I do? Fix it, workaround, or
state that leading "From " is a no-no?

I think the latter.
