Sorry, I wasn't clear. The email I *sent* had an empty body. The email I
*received* from bridges-test had bridges and instructions in the body as

I tested sending an empty body, and separately an empty subject because,
as I recall, in the past there was some confusion about whether BridgeDB
should reply to such messages.
