What is that  'mysterious' bug?  If you're referring to procmail inserting
a '>' at the beginning of a line starting with 'From ', it is not a bug.
Quite the contrary, it is a _documented_ feature. 'Classical' mailreaders 
took a line starting with 'From ' as the _start_ of a message.  Therefore,
procmail intentionally 'quotes' such a line in a message body, so that
mail clients will not be mislead into thinking this is the start of a new
message.

*IF* that is your 'mysterious' bug, then, at approximately line 58 in source
file 'mailfold.c', there is a line;
    
    ffrom=fifrom(fromw,restbody,endp);                   /* scan body block */

replace it with:
   
    ffrom=(char *)0;

And such lines in a message body will not be quoted.
