Let's try that again: tell me, how does this algorithm know that a given
quoted "From " line in the body of the message is one that should be
dequoted?  How does it distinguish a "From " line it quoted from one
that happens to have an identical "quoting" that it did not perform?

Put it another way, if the algorithm does not work 100% of the time it
should not be used.  99.8% of the time is simply not good enough.  At
the least it is going to screw up citations.
