- $OpenBSD: patch-libs_maildrop_deliver_C,v 1.1 2014/06/05 21:04:51 giovanni Exp $
- maildrop adds a newline to mbox files before delivering new messages.
- This effectively alters the final message in the mbox, causing a
- running mutt (and maybe other MUAs) with that mbox open to freak out
- and lose unsaved state [1]. The maildrop folks prefer to keep this
- (out of spec) behaviour to keep from breaking users working
- configurations as well as to avoid problems caused by other out of
- spec mail delivery agents (which may aberrantly neglect to leave a
- blank line at the end of the mbox) [2].
- This patch disables this behaviour of maildrop allowing an MUA to
- gracefully handle the delivery of new mail to an open folder.
