I don't normally suffer it, no, so it needs particular circumstances.

All good.

That last one's wrong.  Perhaps it has to have the short body ending the
spool file.

    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abc
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abc
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abc
    $ inc

    31718  09-06  me                abc 
    $

All good.

    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<ab
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<ab
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<ab
    $ inc
    Incorporating new mail into inbox...

    31710+ 09-06  me                ab

    31712  09-06  me                b 
    $

a?

    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<a
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<a
    $ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<a
    $ inc
    Incorporating new mail into inbox...

    31713+ 09-06  me                a 
    31714  09-06  me                a 
    31715  09-06  me                
    $

a?

I can repeat these and they behave consistently.  It seems to need a
short body at the end of the spool file.
