Remarks

From-armoring is a workaround to prevent receiving clients and/or servers that use the mbox file format for local storage from munging every line of the message content beginning with "From " by prepending a ">" to each of those lines, as is typical with software using the mbox format.

This armoring technique ensures that the receiving client will still be able to verify PGP/MIME and S/MIME signatures.
