I have Gnus fetching my incoming mail from /var/mail/$USER and
splitting it up into a couple of folders. Everything works fine, but
I noticed that Gnus appends a newline to every mail it fetches, and
increases the value of the "Lines:" header by one.
The relevant parts of my ~/.gnus.el look like this:
,----
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "private")))
| (setq mail-sources '((file)))
| (setq nnfolder-directory "~/Mail")
| (setq nnmail-split-methods
| '(("foo" "bar@baz\.com")
| ; [...]
| ("other" "")))
`----
Does anybody know how to avoid those newlines? Thanks in advance!

Maybe those newlines come from the nnfolder file format? The nnfolder
file format requires messages to start with a From_ line (a From_ line
is a line which starts with the 5 characters "From "), and to end with
an empty line.
Maybe Gnus is adding the extra line for the latter requirement?

Hm, but the messages in the mail spool do already end with an empty
line, so I don't think it's necessary to add another one. Even if it
was, the empty line doesn't belong to the message body, I think, so
why does Gnus increase the Lines header's value?
BTW, I don't know if this is of importance, but if I remeber
correctly, I had the same problem when I was using the nnml backend.
Any suggestions?
