Think what happens if a mail with a last line not containing a newline gets added to the mailbox.

The two message get merged if the next one already starts with a 'From ' line.....

maildrop only adds an initial blank line when it 'magics up' a 'From ' line for mail items that don't already contain one. (On my system all such mail ends up being from me! rather than an address extracted from anywhere else.)

Seems to be that being unable to use a reasonably common MUA (mutt) is a serious bug.

Mbox files can contain an initial empty line, and mutt should be able to handle that.

Maybe true... but mail shouldn't end without a bland line either!
