[Arrgh, mailing to a newsgroup doesn't always work properly on our
system. Here it is again.]

Burst will lost the last message of a digest if the line of dashes
after the last message is not followed by a blank line.  Anybody seen
this? Got a fix?

This is our version.

Ken,

I'm still running MH 6.4 and your message burst (bursted?) fine.  The
last part if it came out:

	Date: Mon, 21 Mar 88 13:40:01 EST
	From: anotherbody
	Subject: Deleting bars
	
	Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb.

So the problem, if any, must have been introduced with 6.5
