I don't know why my last four messages haven't made it through the mailing list, but actually I have been trying without success to tell you exactly that. :) You're spot on. Mutt adds headers to indicate the message length when it saves a message. Apart from headers, it copies the message content exactly. The blank line is considered part of the message content, so if present it also gets copied. I'm sending this mainly for Chris's benefit, but since I'm sending I might as well try the list again.
