Observation: That line begins with "From".
Speculation: I suspect that the listserv software escapes "From" after
a newline, and that its chosen escape is synonymous with the embedded
quote character.[1]
I'm pretty sure it did this when passing on a message of my own, here:
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/alpine.DEB.2.10.1807011736220.15009@freevolt.org
In that message, the line-initial phrase "From the horse's mouth:" was
my own. I'm certain I didn't attribute it to anyone else, in the
message I sent to the list. But in the copy I received from the list,
and in the archives, it looks like I did.
Conclusion: If you're going to say anything really heinous on this
list, make sure to put it in a line that begins with the word "From".
And, whatever the facts, it was nice of Curt to co-author this verse
with Mr Guthrie:
This land is your land This land is my land
>From California to the New York island;
>From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
