That explains it. The default setting is

message_suffix = "\n"

If you set

message_suffix =

the blank lines will vanish.

The default for message_suffix for pipe is the same as the default for
appendfile, for consistency. I cannot now remember the reasons why this
was chosen, but it is too late to change the default now. However, as I
said above, you can change your configuration to remove the blank line
if you want.
