qmail does not strip the From_ line.  There is no From_ line there to
be stripped.  Local delivery agents, such as qmail-local, must add a
From_ line when delivering mail into a Mailbox (see mbox(5)).  Some
delivery agents also add a From_ line when delivering to programs.  If
you are using a program like procmail that expects its input to be in
mbox format, you need to use preline to insert the From_ line.
