That statement must assume that all mailboxes on UNIX use UNIX-style
LF-only newlines.  That is not the case with mbx format, and therefore
does not apply to mbx format.  Or rather, consider that tmail's
requirements supercede anything that the bat book says.

Are you setting any of the restrictBox options (or using a third-party
distribution that sets a restrictBox option)?  If so, unset it.
