You might be able to do something in vm-build-message-list, but I
offer no guarantees as I haven't thought through the
ramifications.  Try removing one of the newlines from
separator-string.

Also get your mail delivery agent fixed.  The behavior you
describe is a bug.  The job it has to do is simple enough that
one could write the thing from scratch in fairly short order, if
need be.  Its code is certainly a lot less complicated than that
of VM.
