*sigh* No, it isn't. RFCs define on-the-wire protocols to be used when
communicating on the Internet. Appending a '>' to a 'From ' header is
something done to a local file format for mailboxes. A local file
format is not a protocol, and '>From ' lines are _not_ transmitted as
such, which is why you _won't_ find this behaviour defined in any RFC.
The mbox format that does this is not formally specified, which is why
you also won't find any standards document describing this.
Don't make me use my cluepon,
