That is all fine and good if you are using MMDF.  If you "mkdev sendmail", it 
is supposed to get rid of MMDF and switch to using sendmail.  However, after
you do this, the mail files still have the ^A^A^A^A in between messages even
though you are no longer using MMDF.  It is obvious that you can't get
rid of all remaints of MMDF.
