Bug#494771: Please ignore trailing newline when reading from stdin

[Chris Lamb]

Package: screen-message
Version: 0.11-1
Tags: patch

Please make screen-message ignore trailing newlines when reading the text
from stdin. This makes invokations such as `echo "Hello" | sm` do the right
thing.

Patch attached.
