 Ni> Today, while using my custom JS message reader, I noticed that one of my
 Ni> message sub-boards appears to be skipping an offset. For example, message
 Ni> number 3405 (offset 3404) doesn't seem to exist. My message reader sees
 Ni> messages 3404 and 3406 as valid messages, but there's nothing at message
 Ni> number 3405 (which would be offset 3404). When I use the built-in reader,

Nothing as in "no message header" (you try to read the header and get 'null')
or nothing as in "no message body" (null), or both?

I'm wondering if this is related to the new 'vote messages'.  They coexist with
the rest of the messages in a sub, but have no message body, have a special
attribute in the header, have no subject line, and are probably different in a
couple of other ways.
