The linux-mm list has a tiresome habit of removing one line at the top.

For a year or so I used to wonder why Christoph Lameter sent so many
empty messages in response to patches: at last I realized he was
sending a single-line Acked-by: which linux-mm kindly removed.

I grow tired of it, but forget who to report it to: Rik is sure to know.

Ah, looking at the raw mailbox, I see

so it looks as if a first line with a colon gets treated as header.

Of course, in your case, it serves you right for top-posting ;)
