checkgroups format

[Marco d'Itri]

Why does checkgroups.pl skips empty body lines when mailing a
checkgroups or piping it to docheckgroups?
I checked the original sh checkgroups script and it does not do that,
and son of 1036 says checkgroups should not have blank lines anyway.
Is this another product of Fluffy's interesting (the Chinese way) perl
setup or is really needed and should be left?
Please advise, I have a new release nearly ready.

        foreach (@$body) {
            s/^~/~~/;
            print $mail "$_\n" if not /^\s+$/;
        }

    while (<ARTICLE>) {
      s/^~/~~/;
      print TEMPFILE ($_)   if (! /^\s+$/);
    }

And what should really be the argument to docheckgroups?
Is passing a grep pattern the documented way to run it?
