For compatibility reasons with legacy software, two-digit years
greater than or equal to 70 should be interpreted as the years
1970+, while two-digit years less than 70 should be interpreted as
lines by prepending a '>' (i.e. ">From ", ">>From ", ...). The later
has the advantage that lines like
.IP "" 1
->From the command line you can use the '-p' option
+>From the command line you can use the '\-p' option
.PP
aren't dequoted wrongly as a \fBMBOXRD\fP-MDA would turn the line
into
