This doesn't look like the From: header was in the middle of the message until it was imported into git so it is probably a small logic error that is easily corrected. But I need to see what we are parsing so I can understand what is happening.
No, it's at the top of the body, although there might have been an empty line or two (ie whitespace only) before it.
Even if the header lines are in the middle of the body?
What do you mean by "middle"? No, it should only look at From: and Subject: lines if they are at the very top, with no other non-whitespace lines above them. But when it looks at them and uses the data from them, it should then remove them from the body - they are "conceptually" just extended header lines that just happened to technically (from an rfc822 standpoint) be in the body of the email.
