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.
