Junio's _original_ message was fine. The problem is that vger (majordomo) appends the mailing list footer which technically corrupts the message. Respectable MUA's can deal with the corruption, but gmail's web-interface just shows the raw base64 (previously it used to just show an empty message). I've filed a bug against gmail, but who knows.

The other options are:
- fix majordomo on vger
- replace majordomo on vger with a decent MLM
- disable the mailing list footer
- deal with it if you're a gmail user
