Two issues here
1. I reckon that the mechanism you're using to feed messages into
hypermail is resulting in the first line of each message being of the form

In multi-message mode hypermail looks for 'From ' at the start of a line
as a separator between messages so that's not ideal. If you're working in
single shot mode that it's less of an issue.
2. When printing the headers if showheaders is set then hypermail shows
any messages included in the show_headers set _plus_ any headers that
start with a non-alphanumeric character. The comment with this bit of
code say sthis is to make sure the blank line between headers and body
gets printed - if so I think it would be better for us to use an explicit
test for that.
