I worded that poorly.  Imeant to say that XENIX's configuration of
MMDF is such that in addition to the ^A^A^A^A line, it also adds the
From_ line in messages.  However, the From_ line is not used to
separate messages in MMDF's view -- you could have other From_
lines embedded in MMDF messages.  The additional From_ line is a
"gimme", but chances are, you won't find those lines in folders created
from other (non-xenix) MMDF installations.
