What were you trying to do?
Use "mhmail" to send a message that had a Subject: but no message
body. In otherwords, I said
mhmail -s subject rnewman
^D
What's wrong:
The message just disappeared. It did not get delivered.
It did not get stuck in the mail queue. It did not appear in
/usr/spool/mqueue/syslog.
What should have happened:
It should have delivered the message normally. It should not
care whether the body is 1 line long or 0 lines long.
/usr/ucb/mail sends such a message just fine (although it
does output a warning like "Null message body: hope that's OK")
