This was a bug with an earlier version of Mystic & mutil where it would add an extra line feed every time the message base was packed.

I believe this was fixed in A47 so shouldn't be happening with A48, though those messages with extra lines added would still be in your message base.

Short of editing each message manually, the only other way I could think of fixing that would be to wipe out your message base and %RESCAN from your hub (provided that the Net 1 hub doesn't also have the messages with additional lines added).
