Yes, they should, so `mail-sendmail-undelimit-header' will normally be a
function that does absolutely nothing (as it is today :-)).  So it
should either be removed, or adjusted to do what it says it does (i.e.,
find the delimited and remove it).  I'll do the latter, and we can
contemplate the former...
