Actually, that comes from RFC 4155.
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155

TL;DR: "From " is actually used in mbox format to define the begining
of an email. Thus, any lines in a body, that begins thusly, must be
"quoted" to avoid improperly detecting the begining of an email.

See also this mail in the Patchwork ML archives:
    https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/patchwork/2014-November/001218.html

I don't think this was ever applied...
