tcllib pop3: returning too many newlines?



I've been working with the smtp, mime and pop3 libraries and am having trouble with making a successful round trip.

What I'm doing is using the mime package to format a message, using smtp to send it, and using pop3 to retrieve it. When I retrieve it, the body of the mime message I get back always has two more trailing newlines then the body of the mime message I sent.

Is this a known bug, or a known feature of POP3 or the mime package or anything like that?

I can certainly compare what I sent with what I got back by doing a [string trimright] but I'd like to know why I'm getting back more bytes than I'm sending (but not badly enough that I am willing to dig into the pop3 library...)
