Enterprise Library 4.0: How to get rid of headers and footers when using a Rolling Flat File Trace Listener

Question

As the title already says, is there a way to get rid of the headers and footers that are placed before and after each log entry when using a Rolling Flat File Trace Listener?

Although I cleared the "Header" and "Footer" properties the log file still shows an empty line before and after each log entry.

Update

Here you can see the config file I use.

I used your listener and formatter with the EL Logging Quickstart. The messages are logged without any empty lines before or after.

Is it possible that your message contains new line character(s) that are causing the empty lines?
