Yeah, a long time ago.  You might want to check the bat book to see if it
says anything pertinent, but I think it just means that the header and body
(sendmail stores them separately in the queue) for that message can't be put
together for whatever reason (either one of the two is missing, or the
header is corrupted, or something like that). I'd just down sendmail, whack
that message from the queue, and hope for the best.  Of course, my
recollection could be quite wrong ;-).

later,
