Again: there is nothing that says that the POP server should output
escaped From_ lines when given the RETR command, right?  The From_
lines must be escaped when pop3.el outputs mbox format, though.  So
pop3.el must escape the From_ lines.

(Modulo the presence of Content-Length headers or stuff like that.)
