I think the issue is that there is some sort of minimum character limit for the message field in the send_email and send_mass_email functions. I was not able to find anything in the docs pertaining to this, but when I use a string like 'test1' the message never gets sent. When I use something like, 'I love my veggies', everything seems to work fine.
