If you edit a message and insert text with the string `From ' at the
beginning of the line (and after a blank line), and save the folder, VM
5.31 beta will parse it as the beginning of a new message when you read
it again.  One could argue that anyone who does this is a bonehead and
deserves what he gets, but it would be nice if vm-save-folder (or some
appropriate routine) checked for this and inserted a `>' in front of the
instances of "From " which might be accidently introduced by editing a
message.  (This might happen often to users who sometimes paste portions
of other related mail messages into a message they receive.)
