Gabe,

  basically, the local delivery agent (LDA) is responsible for which 
format the mail is delivered in.

a typical Sendmail LDA is procmail and with newer versions of procmail 
you can deliver in Maildir format by putting a / at the end of the 
delivery directory.

check the man pages for procmail for more details.
