Before I spend an hour fighting with it, has anyone written a recipe
to match empty text/plain body blocks, or ones that contain nothing but
whitespace?

Hi, Paul,

I've been away on business for a couple of weeks.  I almost blew
away the sudden bloat from this list, but decided to see how far
I get looking through old stuff quickly.

I also see you and Bart worked out some stuff in regard to this
question.  However, I thought I'd go ahead and post my one-liner
solution anyway.  "$WS" is a space and a tab.  This line
is one of many in my last-ditch-fallback body-grep recipe.
It doesn't get run often.

  * $   8^0    ^(Content-T[^$WS]+:.*$([$WS].*$|$)*)+--


This line is also in there, and proves useful:

  *    15^1    ^Content-Type:(.*\<)?text/.*(^.*)?\
               ^Content-Transfer-Encoding:(.*\<)?base64



In another post, you wrote:

I don't think I've ever seen a Content-Type: multipart header with a
single part that was not spam.  I'm pretty sure that most MUAs, if
configured to send HTML-only email, won't bother making it multipart.
I'm willing to be corrected on that....

I'm afraid to say I've seen it in legit mail.  :-(
