I found some mysterious files in my home directory with names like
"alter-ego.map" and "other_jdpeek.map".  I didn't make them myself,
so they got me sort of concerned, obviously.  The files are full of
binary garbage.

Well, I finally figured out that the mystery files have the same names as
some test files I used to have listed in my .maildelivery:

    From    jerryp                  file    A     alter-ego
    From    jdpeek@gamera           file    A     other_jdpeek
    default -                       >       A     /usr/spool/mail/jdpeek

The FILES section of the mhook(1) man page doesn't say what these *.map files
are for.  Shouldn't it?  (Or do I need to RT other FM besides mhook(1)?)
I guess I could ftp a copy of source and figure it out myself, but does
anyone know?
