    Emails from Synchronet regarding sysop being paged not visable on an iPhone using IMAP service.

    Suggestion - modify the email being sent from synchronet to the sysop's inbox so that an iPhone using the IMAP service will display the message in the native email client.

    Testing has shown that messages without or blank message body do not show within the iPhone's message list.

    e.g.

    Send sysop a message with subject only (no body) - message is not shown in iPhone message list
    Send sysop a message with a subject & body - message is shown in iPhone message list

    Maybe one quick fix would be to copy the text used in the subject into the message body too.

    Additional testing has confirmed the issue is not an IMAP related issue.

    MS Outlook displays messages without a body just fine when using IMAP, so this seems to be a quirk with iPhones (and probably iPad's) only.

    I'm not use apple, but I agree that email must have a body too.
