Or is it just me who is > receiving empty messages? (At least the 3rd empty mail I see.) Here's what's going on. 1. Gmail will often send messages as base64 encoded, inline. i.e.: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline 2. Majordomo is dumb dumb dumb and adds the standard list footer to the message. It should probably either not add the footer to such messages, or it should do it correctly by base64 decoding them, adding the footer, then re-encoding. Anyway, what it sends out is: [... prior base64 encoded lines elided ...] b3V0LCBidXQgSSB3aWxsIHByb2JhYmx5IHN0YXkgYXdheSBmcm9tIGNvbmZpZy4KCi0tIApEdXkK -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html 3. Gmail is dumb dumb dumb and cannot decode such "corrupted" messages. They display as completely blank. If you go to gmane you can see the message is fine. (I think gmane strips the majordomo added footer.) I've filed a bug against gmail multiple times about this. No idea if they'll ever fix it. I also sent an email to git-owner@vger.kernel.org (which I think was /dev/null'ed) offering to patch Majordomo, but got no reply. I wonder if such a mailing list footer is useful in the first place. Perhaps it could just be disabled. Anyway, my offer to "fix" majordomo still stands. Perhaps someone knows who I should contact at vger.kernel.org to find out whether they're willing to accept a patch. j.
