SPUG: unwanted mail "feature"

I am experiencing a modestly annoying anomaly with a mail script.
The first 3 lines below show my script; the second 2 are the resulting
email. Where is the leading ">" coming from? 


$mailbody = "";
$mailbody = "From PACIFIC SPORTS in Seattle\n
$mailbody = $mailbody."Thank you very much for your order of:\n\n";

>From PACIFIC SPORTS in Seattle
Thank you very much for your order of:


Using Sendmail like this...
open (SENDMAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -odq");
print SENDMAIL <<"EOF";

Thanks for any suggestions...
