How could the python delivery program have anything to do with it?
I simply s[aved] three messages using the mutt save command, no other
program is involved, mutt is simply writing three messages to the same
mbox.
Are you all sure that mutt isn't simply saving what it's provided with
by the incoming MDA?
If the *delivered* message ends with a blank line (i.e. what's in the
inbox) then what mutt saves will end with a blank line.
To do exactly what I did:-
Deliver some messages to a mbox file.
Check that there is *no* blank line at the end of these messages.
Use mutt to s[ave] (or c[opy]) the messages to another mbox.
Look at the new mbox file.
I think you'll find there's no added blank line.
