Hmm, you're right, maybe mail.local should be changed to NOT expect
a blank line beforehand and to only escape lines which could be
valid From-lines otherwise ? I believe even if it doesn't hit Berkeley
Mail we should still stop it hitting other mailers (like elm).

btw. Nobody has mentioned anything about sendmail using uid "daemon"
when reading root's .forward file ?
