No, tmail failed to print a blank line before the last mail message
that it printed (i.e., the first one in the mailbox file). Also, it
printed an unnecessary blank line before the first one (i.e., the last
one in the mailbox file).

For example, if I type

    tmail /mit/mhpower/Mail/bitnews

the output has no blank line between the line

   fine speaker

and the line

   From BITNEWS@uga.cc.uga.edu Wed Feb 26 15:41:19 1992

This makes the program unusable for reversing the message order of the
mailbox file.
