It seems to be a bug in my news client, Pan, because I've tried downloading the posts in another client and they are not empty. However, something has changed, because it only started recently -- I've never seen such "empty" posts before, not in 5+ years of posting with Pan, and within the last 24 hours or so, I am seeing dozens, in two different versions. I will treat this as a bug in Pan, and take it to the appropriate forums, but for anyone who cares, here's one example: From: Steven D'Aprano <steve+comp.lang.pyt...@pearwood.info> Subject: Re: What is this syntax ?
