Summary: incorrect end-of-message handling in mailbox.BabylMailbox

Initial Comment:
The mailbox.BabylMailbox class does not handle end of
message correctly.
The last message in a mailbox ends in '\037' instead of
'\037\014\n'
(i.e. FF and LF do not exist at the end of the
mailbox).  However, the
class in question does not take this special case into
account, so that
application programs get '\037' as the last line of the
last message.
Following is a simple fix of this bug:

--- mailbox.py.orig	Tue Jan 20 23:10:32 2004

                 return
-            if line == '\037\014\n':
+            if line == '\037\014\n' or line == '\037':
                 self.fp.seek(pos)
                 return

The bug is in Python 2.3.3 and probably all of older
versions.
