I am using 6.5.6 6/30/89; I don't know if this has been fixed in the new
alpha version, but just in case it hasn't, I want to point it out.

I am bothered by the fact that when including a message (with "mail -i" or
"~i"), the blank lines at the beginning and end of the body are included.

I have always thought of the blank line at the beginning of the body as a
delimiter between the headers and body, not as a part of the body.
Similarly, the blank line at the end is an end-of-message marker, not part
of the body.

In particular, if I am replying to a one-line message, I don't want it to
look like:
