What were you doing?
The equivalent of `zwrite ""'.
[I tried doing something more clever, but failed.]
What's wrong:
`zwrite ""' sends a message to <message,personal,*>.
This is almost certainly not what whoever tries it intends.
What should have happened:
Zwrite should have displayed a nice instructional message,
such as "Don't send to empty recipients, bonehead."
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Mr. Release Engineer seems to be aware of this bug, so I'm
merely ending this to encourage getting it fixed.
