In the system's mtstailor file, are there any entrys like:

	mmdelim1: \001\001\001\001\n
	mmdelim2: \001\001\001\001\n

The man page for mh-tailor(5) says that these options specify:

     mmdelim1: \001\001\001\001\n
          The beginning-of-message delimiter for maildrops.

     mmdelim2: \001\001\001\001\n
          The end-of-message delimiter for maildrops.

It might be worth looking into.
