Description:
------------
When using control/footer mlmmj adds random characters to the end of the mails 
instead of the footer text, if and only if the footer file does not end with a 
line break.

Does not work:
echo -n "This is the ultimate footer." >mlmmj/peer/control/footer

Works as expected:
echo "This is the ultimate footer." >mlmmj/peer/control/footer


Test script:
---------------
echo -n "This is the ultimate footer." >mlmmj/peer/control/footer

Expected result:
----------------
"This is the ultimate footer." as footer text.

Actual result:
--------------
Random(?) as footer text. Sometimes the characters contain parts of the path to 
the mailing list directory.
