Re: Dash-escaping clarification

[Adam Back <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let me modify that.  I just tried a few combinations with PGP and it
dash escapes leading '-', and 'From ' but pretty much nothing else.

So to describe existing behavior we could say:

- dash escape leading '-'
- dash escape 'From '

and that's it.
