This is a littel problem I found using maildrop under NetBSD.

(NetBsd bug pkg/15568)

If maildrop has to create a 'From ' line at the start of a mail item then it erronously includes a blank line before it.

This causes some MUA (eg mutt) to complain that /var/mail/xyz isn't a valid mailbox.

Even the maildrop man page says: At least one mail program writes an empty line before a From_ header when saving a message into a file. maildrop ignores empty lines at the beginning of messages.

Correct. Some do, some don't. There is no way to please everyone.
