Thanks David, it does seem to have got to the list.

I think I might try and deliver some messages 'direct' using postfix, I
can set up a dummy user here with no filter/procmail and take a look at
what arrives in their inbox.

If postfix *does* append a blank line to all messages I can then,
maybe, go to the python library developers and say I think what
they're doing is wrong.

I believe so yes, this is what mutt is good at.

Well, do you have all your folders in the mailboxes-view? If yes, a simply
"/" in the default keybinding can search for that folder. There is no
"l"imit functionality, but I use the search function quite every day.
