Kinda funny: I once encountered a UNIX mail utility that would always append messages to mbox files with a leading blank line even if the file was empty (i.e. it would create new mbox files with a leading blank line), but would refuse to open any mbox files that began with a blank line. Dunno how it survived in the wild... I suspect it was some broken interim version, but at any rate I hacked it to keep it from writing the blank line, *and* to skip blank lines when opening up an mbox.
Would you be able to disclose the name of that utility in case I am using it inadvertently ??
