Lately I've noticed a bunch of messages that have the text "From " quoted as ">From ". I know this is standard practice with mbox folders, but I'm using maildir and don't want that quoting. Before I started using maildrop, exim's maildir-format delivery wasn't (unnecessarily) qouting "From " lines. Is there an option I can set to stop this or must I hack the source?

maildrop does not escape From_ lines when delivering to maildirs. The message probably already had the From_ line escaped. Perhaps you're pulling your mail from a POP3 mailbox, in which case the From_ line was escaped when the message was delivered into the POP3 mailbox.
