   I too have received empty messages. I suspect that it is due to people
who don't know how to abort a reply once "readnews" has dumped them into the
editor. In that case, exiting the editor results in an empty message being 
sent. For those "responsible" for these empty messages, one kludge to abort
a reply is to edit the To: line and make the message go to yourself.
