Package: bsd-mailx
Version: 8.1.2-0.200909
Occasionally (once in 10 I would say) emails disappears from
the Inbox, after changes have been saved within /usr/bin/mail
(linked to /usr/bin/bsd-mailx).
If you look in $MAIL, what you find is that the blank line
between the end of a message and the From_ line on the following
one has disappeared. Therefore the disappeared message has actually
been incorporated in the previous one.
Here is a transcript:

As you see, message 7 in the above has disappeared!!
Actually, when you vi $MAIL you find that the blank line
between it and the preceeding message is missing.
Do you think there could be a fix?
Many thanks!
