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
