This is a regression introduced by 53cad69 (post-receive-email: ensure
sent messages are not empty, 2010-09-10), I think.

This used to "exit 1" before 53cad69 and I agree with the patch that
signalling error with "return 1" is the right thing to do here.

And this obviously is correct.

Kevin, care to review and Ack?  Alan, care to add a few lines of patch
