I have just figured out how to fix the messages with 6 blank lines in the text. It's more a work around, but it works seemingly 100%

The issue is caused by the word wrapping in Mystic leaving a line with 79 chars plus 1 white space, so the 81st char is the new line. To stop this happening, in your `/path/to/mystic/themes/default/text/msg_editor.ini` make the following changes;

Line 51 (on mine at least) has this;
  Coord2 = 79,22,0

Change it to read;
  Coord2 = 78,22,0

The next change is on line #92 (for me), by default has this;
  str5 = |16|08|$D32- END OF MESSAGE |$D31-

Change it to read;
  str5 = |16|08|$D32- END OF MESSAGE |$D30-

Then all your problems will be solved going forward. It won't fix already sent/received messages, but will stop YOU from creating them in the future. If everyone can do this, it will help solve the issue.

You're welcome :)
