Yes, that looks better.

I did the same test again; here are the results.

      to        mbox    dotmail MH      maildir
from
good mbox       good    good    good    good
good dotmail    good    good    good    good
bad dotmail     good    bad     bad     bad

Again, movemail converted three versions of a message whose body is
one line.  "Good" means the message does not have a blank line added;
"bad" means it does, so the body is two lines.

Those results are all what I think they should be, except one:
converting "bad dotmail" to mbox.  The input message included a blank
line at the end, but the message in the output mbox file did not
contain that blank line -- that is, the output mbox file ended with
just one blank line.  Does mbox write trim a blank line off the end of
the message, or something like that?

Those two files are attached.
