The POP server has no other choice than to do this.  There is no POP
command to retrieve an entire mailbox as a single chunk; each message
must be explicitly downloaded with a `RETR <msgid>' command.

I still say that it is the MTA (actually the delivery agent responsible
for appending to the mailbox) that is failing to insert the requisite
blank line before the new "\nFrom " line.
