I use Maildir format for my incoming mail. In the past, I have used maildrop
as my MDA and now I have switched to procmail. I use Mutt as my MUA and have
converted (today) some email from mbox to maildir format. The naming
convention of each mail is different for procmail vs maildrop (and mutt
converted) email. The format is listed as follows,

-rw-------  1 subba  users     3599 Mar 28 07:32 985764747.20966_23.myhost:2,S
-rw-------  1 subba  users    28883 Mar 28 01:55 __XE,5RUw6.myhost:2,S

How are these random names generated? Is this name generation the property of
MUA such as mutt also? I thought it was the domain of MDAs.

Thank you for any info.
