Err, because that's what left-joins are for, I think: Get a row with
values NULL'ed where else with a normal join wouldn't get anything.
If you have a mysql db at hand you could simply c&p the example from the
first mail into the test db and try it yourself. I would be very
interested to see a way how to retrieve for example all text-only
emails without "chunks.id!=chunks_2.id" being in the LEFT-JOIN-ON
condition.
