In an mbox file, each message starts with a "From " line (note the
space).  After this come the message headers, including the From
header.  But that's "From:" (note the colon).

The "From " line (also called the From_ line, or just the From line)
is not the same thing as the From header ("From:").  (The From_ line
is part of the envelope of the message, the From header is part of the
message itself.)
