How about something like this:

Hmm. Pretty wordy. But not bad. How about:
The draft file is expected to contain just an RFC822 email:
headers and a body. Although it is not an mbox file, if an mbox "From
" pseudo-header is present, it will be silently discarded.
I like this approach. However, please don't call it a "pseudo-header".
That still sounds like it's kinda sorta part of RFC 822. It's not, at
all. It's not even legal syntax for a header (because there's no ':').
It usually called a "From " line or From_ line.
'...if an mbox "From " line is present...'
