fetch_mail splits body at "From "

Description

Package: mutt
Version: 1.4.1i
Severity: important

-- Please type your report below this line

Fetching mail from a POP3 server unsing mutt's fetch_mail splits one message
into several.  It splits at lines in the body starting with "From ".

In contrast, software package fetchmail changes "From " to ">From " when
storing into /var/spool/mail/username so that mutt can read correctly.
