I don't see empty messages through Usenet. However, at around the time you reported this, I started seeing some (not many) messages each day with strange mangling of the header: the Date field showing Unix epoch, the Subject field truncated, and the From field showing the remainder from the Subject. Another distortion is that the summary of message size (which I think is derived from the Lines field) shows zero for all those problematic messages. That may indicate a link between the problems we're seeing. For example: ===== O [20110621T054352: 2.0k: deathweaselx86 ]─── Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using sets over list comps to ensure a list O [20110621T111058: 2.8k: Steven D'Aprano ]├─► [...] O [20110621T135956: 1.9k: rusi ]└─► [...] O [19700101T100000: 0.0k: comps to ensure a li]*── Re: Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using sets over list O <19700101T100000: 0.0k: comps to ensure a li> └─► [...] O [20110618T161430: 3.5k: Gregory Ewing ]─── ANN: PyGUI 2.5.1 ===== The problematic messages in the above example are Message-ID: <mailman.191.1308600028.1164.python-l...@python.org> and <mailman.213.1308627006.1164.python-l...@python.org>. The messages, when retrieved, have the right content and even the fields in the header appear fine.
