Don't give F flag to Postfix's pipe command.

Although this reminds me that the "dovecot.deliver" is wrong in there..
Hmm. I think I'll add a maildrop-compatible -f <envelope> parameter
here.

There, done in CVS. I'll also make 1.0rc8 release today.

Are you sure it's a blank line? Dovecot adds lots of spaces after
X-Keywords which could just make it look like that.

If it really is a blank line, then it's most likely something else than
Dovecot that changes the spaces that way.
