Re: [Nmh-workers] Request Deprecation of mts.conf's mmdelim1 and mmdelim2.

Hi Ken,

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

I say get rid of it now; that's support for MMDF, right?

Right.  MMDF mail spool files are the normal (headers, blank line,
body), and instead of a "From␣" line header and blank line tail, the
head and tail match, both being "^A^A^A^A\n".  This means emails are
separated by two lines of Ctrl-As.

Maybe there are people out there still using MMDF, but I doubt they
are still using nmh.

I'm only after axing the run-time tailoring of the delimiters through
mts.conf(5).  The values would instead be fixed at compile time and MMDF
spool files still handled "as well as now".  :-)
