Comment (by geodanny):

 This still remains an issue with WP 2.6.1; however I won't re-open this
 bug.

 I get blank posts when using Yahoo! or Gmail. I think that blog-by-email
 ultimately needs to accept text\html regardless of encoding, as nracklife
 stated.

 I'm not a coder so my quick fix was to remove the following from wp-
 mail.php. It sounds as if my problems all lie with that part of the php
 code.

 {{{
         if ($content_type == 'multipart/alternative') {
                 $content = explode('--'.$boundary, $content);
                 $content = $content[2];
                 $content = explode('Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-
 printable', $content);
                 $content = strip_tags($content[1],
 '<img><p><br><i><b><u><em><strong><strike><font><span><div>');
         }
 }}}

 That leaves me with a post with unnecessary info about the content type,
 encoding, etc. but at least my content isn't stripped and I can edit at a
 later time to remove the unnecessary info.

 With that portion of the code removed, here is what my post content looks
 like when sent from Yahoo! Mail:
 {{{
 --0-945523328-1219549749=:79650
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

 }}}

 and here is what my post content now looks like when sent from Gmail:

 {{{
 ------=_Part_45000_2317808.1219549399420
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
