Speaking of electronic mail (aren't we always?) I've always been
annoyed by the plethora of blank lines appended to messages I
receive through electronic mail.  I usually have 5-10 lines blank
at the end of the message!!

What I suspect happens is that certain mailers (perhaps sendmail/rmail)
add a trailing '\n' to the last line of the file when it copies it in
from the phone line...over the course of a half-dozen hops it adds up to
a considerable percentage of the total lines of a message!!

Am I right?  Has anyone else noticed this pesky problem??
