Don't do this, it will make the mailbox unusable for all non Elm
mail user agents.  Instead, reconfigure Elm to use the MMDF, then
Elm skips correctly over the ^A^A^A^A's.

Also, for SCO UNIX, use the MMDF program submit  instead of sendmail.
Support for submit as SCO has played with it is included in Elm 2.3 PL11.
