Lines starting with 'From' are quoted in email sent by Launchpad

[Björn Tillenius]

When Launchpad sends out an email that contains lines starting with
'From', it makes sure that these lines are quoted. Quoting 'From' makes sense only for a client storing the message in an MBOX file, it probably shouldn't be done when sending a message.

That doesn't give a reason for quoting the lines when sending an e-mail.
To me it seems, that the quoting should be done by the client that
stores the message in an MBOX file, the sending part shouldn't care
about how the receiver will store the message.
