A certain company's mailer is munging the "From" header in mail msgs improperly.
For instance the following message was sent to check connection response time:

	echo neighbor | mail neighbor!mot!fred

It would have arrived at "neighbor" with a uux(1) instruction to
"rmail mot!fred", the input being:

	From fred  Tue Nov 12 21:38:26 1985 remote from mot

	neighbor

Their mailer munged things into:

	From uucp Wed Nov 13 18:49 EST 1985
	>From neighbor!fred  Tue Nov 12 21:38:26 1985 remote from mot
	Received: by neighbor.neighbor (4.12/4.7)
		id AA28316; Tue, 12 Nov 85 20:57:04 pst
	Date: Tue, 12 Nov 85 20:57:04 pst
	From: mot!neighbor!fred
	Message-Id: <8511130457.AA28316@neighbor.neighbor>
	Apparently-To: mot!fred
	Status: R

	neighbor

Note that the ">From" and "From:" lines are incorrect.  The ">From" line
should read:
	>From mot!fred  Tue Nov 12 21:38:26 1985 remote from neighbor
and the "From:" line should read:
	From: mot!fred
At least this is what mailers I've seen are doing, such as at ihnp4.

Any chance this phenomenon is due to the loop-back nature of this msg?
