After a bit of chat in #sup on freenode, I have a workaround and some
comments.

Workaround (tested): make sure you instruct your editor to save the
temporary file even when you are making no changes.  This will force sup
to capture the contents of the file, which will include the newlines.

New bug: the same bug exists when replying if you don't edit your
message before sending (why would you ever do that?)

The problem seems to be that when the body of forward/reply messages is
built, it is built without a newline terminator at the end of every
line.  This is infrequently noticed because those newlines get added to
the temporary file for editing.
