Your solution sounds good! But I have doubts that your evaluation of
the problem is correct. To me, it looks as if VM performed the
escaping:

 1) I tried to edit the erroneous message by pressing 'e', removing
    the escape character and then pressing C-C C-C; when I checked the
    new contents of the message, the '>' was still there. I might be
    doing something wrong, but this certainly looks as if VM was
    escaping the 'From '.

 2) I edited my INBOX to remove the escape character and then
    restarted VM. VM would erroneously display _two_ messages where
    there had formerly been just one. This suggests that VM does
    require escaping.

Please let me know, if I have done something wrong or if my system is
misconfigured.
