I 'speck the absence of the spambody might
throw an error flag in the program processing
the spam, hence ??? a warning message? I
would ignore it.

Group .help is apparently of historic interest
only as most people apparently use "spamcop"
for help.

For spam with no body, paste to form, add one
blank line after headers. Add another line:
[no spam body]. Now headers will process.
Some advise adding note to report that
there was no spam body, but I have no idea
why that matters to anyone...
