'nothing at all' is easier than blank lines, BUT it may not be that simple.
- empty "Subject:" is a not totally uncommon legitimate user faux pas, and one I
cannot block without more pain than gain.
- empty body WITH attachment-only is also not uncommon - though less so in
combination with empty subject.
Might it be 'quicker' to force whatever is using that misbehaving lib to insert
a quasi-unique flag and key on that if/as/when not over-written by a proper
completion?
