mailinfo: make ">From" in-body header check more robust
Since commit 81c5cf7 (mailinfo: skip bogus UNIX From line inside body, 2006-05-21), we have treated lines like ">From" in the body as headers. This makes "git am" work for people who erroneously paste the whole output from format-patch: From 12345abcd...fedcba543210 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: them Subject: [PATCH] whatever into their email body (assuming that an mbox writer then quotes "From" as ">From", as otherwise we would actually mailsplit on the in-body line). However, this has false positives if somebody actually has a commit body that starts with "From "; in this case we erroneously remove the line entirely from the commit message. We can make this check more robust by making sure the line actually looks like a real mbox "From" line. Inspect the line that begins with ">From " a more carefully to only skip lines that match the expected pattern (note that the datestamp part of the format-patch output is designed to be kept constant to help those who write magic(5) entries).
