} Mush does not require a blank line between headers, 

Dan's statement is, unfortunately, only half right.

The part of mush that parses header information (for purposes of
constructing the "headers" display etc.) does not require a blank line.

The part that displays messages, copies them to files, etc., DOES
require a blank line.

Somewhere in msgs.c, in the function copy_msg():

    if (*line == '\n') {
	if (on_hdr) {	/* blank line -- end of header */

You need to make two changes. (1) At the top of copy_msg(), declare

    char *p;

(You may also wish to delete the block-scoped declarations of *p that
occur elsewhere in that function.)  (2) Change the test to

    if (*line == '\n' || (p = any(line, " \t:")) && *p != ':') {

This will handle the case of any non-header line that doesn't start out
with "Steve:".  Unless you've ignored yourself, that won't matter. :-)
