That looks _exactly_ like the line used by Eudora to separate messages.

It's looks safe to me.  Having an email address on the "From " line is 
harmless as the email address almost always appears elsewhere in the 
message header.

Bogofilter has a special check for "^From " in function is_from().  This is 
needed because messages don't always end properly (with final mime 
boundaries, end tags for html and html comments, etc).
