That's what I've found as well.

Strictly, it only 'proves' that it works with just a newline with those
packages you mention <g>.  But I'll add View and all my mail processing
utilities and scripts to the list, I haven't found any problems if I
don't insist on a black line first, and I did have problems when I tried
that (it seems that there are, or were, some cases where KA9Q would put
the next message in with no blank line).
