I fortunately don't have to deal with MMDF anymore, but I had to for
last winter (at the U of Delaware, as it happens...).

The problem I had was that digests were not formed correctly.  VM
added a line with "From " to each digest, and got confused about where
the headers really started.  It also left one of the ^A^A^A^A strings
in there (perhaps the trailing one?).

This was with VM 5.32.  I can try to reproduce one such digest if you
wish.  I still have some MMDF folders around...
