In my mail files each message is followed by a blank line

Yes, it's a requirement of the format. That's why there's an "echo" after
"cat". :)
except cat is not guarenteed to EOF after a newline.
New script.
I added inserting a Date: line and switched to using sed:
local]# cat mycron
#!/bin/sh
currentDate="$(date +'%a %b %d %T %Y')"
echo "From cron@localhost $currentDate" >> /var/spool/mail/$USER
currentDate="$(date +'%a,%e %b %Y %T %z (%Z)')"
sed "/^Status:/a Date: $currentDate" >> /var/spool/mail/$USER
echo "" >> /var/spool/mail/$USER
======
Took a bit to get the date function outputing the right formats.
I still suspect I am missing an important mail header. Mutt takes a
long time to start up compared to a CentOS system that DOES have postfix
and cron is sending the mail to local store.
