What makes you think that this is a problem, or `misbehavio[u]r'? It
isn't. What you've just described is a feature of the mbox mail storage
format - nothing more, nothing less.

See <URL:http://email.about.com/cs/standards/a/mbox_format.htm> or
<URL:http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html> (yes, I know, but it's a
fair reference ;>), for example.
