Problem with read in sh

I've discovered a very annoying problem in sh:

Code:
echo -en "one\ntwo\nthree" | while read VALUE
do
        echo "${VALUE}"
done

This will print one and two, but not three. The last line is IGNORED because it lacks a newline. This makes it hard to use sh for things like CGI scripting; you have to add a newline with sed or something. How can I coerce read into reading the last line?
