This doesn't look like the From: header was in the middle of the

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.
