There is, sort of... I plan to log a message everytime we deliver in=20
legacy mbox format.  Unfortunateley, this only works if logging is=20
enabled but it's better than nothing I think.

The alternative, moving their mail to a new maildir, maybe or maybe not=20
migrating the old mbox and not having a great way to explain the
situation to the end user scares me more than preserving the status quo
for legacy users.
