Since people installed mh 6.7, I've noticed that all of my Unix mbox
"inc"ed messages are coming out with lots of white space between the
header and the body. E.g.

minus the <*?*>s. The original mbox message looked like:

I think the "extra" stuff is generated like this. The first <*A*>
comes at the end of the last header line, the <*C*> is generated by
the explicit putc in scan(), and the <*A*> and <*B*> are returned in
tmpbuf from the first BODY field.
Is this deliberate? Surely only 2 linefeeds (one blank line) are
needed to separate the header from the body.
