>Description:
While testing v4, I submitted a PR by e-mail, with an empty message body. The queue-pr cron job ran, but did not pick up the PR. Running

file-pr -f gnats-queue/gnats_Uaqbq -d test1

to have file-pr look at it directly gave a "pr-edit: Failure reading header" error.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
file-pr or queue-pr should probably catch this and send a warning message back to the submitter, or at least to the Gnats admin. Of course, no PRs with empty bodies should be submitted, but if someone does this by mistake, they should get a warning back. Currently, the GNATS system behaves as a black hole for this kind of messages, seen from a user perspective
