[New-bugs-announce] [issue15222] mailbox.mbox writes without end-of-line at the file end.

[lilydjwg]

New submission from lilydjwg <lilydjwg at gmail.com>:

I find that when mbox writes mails back, it loses the last end-of-line, making appending new mails to the mbox becomes incorrect.

I'm using Linux. In _singlefileMailbox.flush(), when writing the mbox, it loses the last byte ('\n') at the end of each message (because the position from '_toc' is inclusive), and mbox._pre_message_hook() adds it back, but only between two messages. So the last message ends without a '\n'.
