Just bringing this one back to the list again, since Junio's preparing
for a freeze for 1.7.3. Allowing post-receive-email to generate an empty
email message can be quite problematic, depending on the MTA in use on
the system where the script is run... in our case, it caused the MTA to
generate bounce messages which were then delivered to the admin of our
corporate MTA, who had no clue what was causing them since they had no
content.
