This statement is not true.  I know I have received messages from people  
sitting on Sun's which the above method would flag as "next mail".  All they  
have to do is use /usr/ucb/mail and be lazy about putting in the carriage  
returns.  If they don't put them in, nobody else will either (well, not at
80 columns worth, at least).

I'm sure there are other mail programs out there which would result in the  
same kind of message.
