In the future, use "Save to folder" instead if you're saving a
mail message, unless you know you're never going to try to visit
the resulting file as a mail folder.  Saving without the From
line is expected behavior for "Save to file".  Also "Save to Folder"
appends to an existing file, while "Save to file" overwrites the
file.
