Hi Ken,
nmh 1.6-3
It's entirely possible I got it wrong ... but I couldn't reproduce
this problem with the given exact message.
Does it happen on every message?
I don't normally suffer it, no, so it needs particular circumstances.
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<a
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<ab
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abc
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcd
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcde
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdef
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefg
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefgh
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefghi
$ inc
Incorporating new mail into inbox...
31692+ 09-06 me a
31693 09-06 me ab
31694 09-06 me abc
31695 09-06 me abcd
31696 09-06 me abcde
31697 09-06 me abcdef
31698 09-06 me abcdefg
31699 09-06 me abcdefgh
31700 09-06 me abcdefghi
$
All good.
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefghi
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefgh
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdefg
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcdef
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcde
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abcd
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<abc
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<ab
$ /usr/bin/mail $USER <<<a
$ inc

31701+ 09-06 me abcdefghi
31702 09-06 me abcdefgh
31703 09-06 me abcdefg
31704 09-06 me abcdef
31705 09-06 me abcde
31706 09-06 me abcd
31707 09-06 me abc
31708 09-06 me ab
31709 09-06 me

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
Incorporating new mail into inbox...
31716+ 09-06 me abc
31717 09-06 me abc
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
31711 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.
