Jeff King 2da1f36671 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).
