The minimum requirements for an internet message to be valid are: From, Date, and a recipient (RFC 2822). A message without a message body is not completely empty; hit shift-crtl-K on the supposedly empty message and you see what I mean.

This would be a dangerous violation of the RFC's and I would be completely against it. If there is no body, there are still headers. I can trigger my coffee machine with a specific Subject header and don't need to write a body. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
