The script send-mail spawns $EDITOR to edit the body of a message a user would 
like to send.  During that editing session, that user has the option of saving 
the "file" that they are editing, (it's a temp. file in /tmp).  If they choose 
the default filename, all is well, but choosing a different file name causes a 
silent error.  The send-mail script itself calls "post-mail" with post data 
"MSGFILE=/tmp/mf$$", but this is not necessarily what the file was saved as.

post-mail then goes and sends the mail, but reads in an empty file as the 
message
