Mail (or Helldiver) BUG

Okay, I have Waffle 1.65 and HellDiver 1.07. I don't use HellDiver EVERY time
I read news and mail; only about half the time. Why? I dunno, maybe I 
just like the contrariness of Waffle. Or perhaps it's because I find it 
easier to get to some of my DOS utilities from there.

Anyhow, today I noticed that sometimes a long mail message will also 
include the text of the next mail message, appended at the end after 
three smileyface characters. The next message (same text as that 
appended to previous one) comes out looking normal.

I have a suspiscion that HellDiver is responsible for this: yesterday I
used HellDiver to delete about half of the messages pending in my
mailbox. And I noticed this strange symptom only after I had done that. 
But the problem /might/ predate my use of HellDiver to delete messages.

Anyhow, this isn't a major problem; just an annoyance. I have not been 
able to repeat the bug, wherever it resides.
