Very often it is only one character out of place.   Each header should 
start with  'From' in the beginning of a line - eg as the first 
character of the file or the first character after a newline-whitespace
combination.

It looks like you have some Greater-Thans ('>')  stuck in there.
Try taking those away from in front of the initial From.
