These are left whenever a user aborts a message.  For example, if a
user enters an MX "To:" address, but then QUITs out of the editor or
types ^C to cancel the message, the 0-byte entry is left in the MX
queue.  The entries were made as soon as the "To:" address was
processed.  MX is not called again after the user cancels the message,
hence the left-over queue entry.  They go away when the expiration
date is reached or when you issue an MCP QUEUE CANCEL command.
