Comment:

 I suspect that the problem lies in this section of wp-mail.php:

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

 Gmail sends out HTML mail as a multipart/alternative, however it doesn't
 have the {{{'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable'}}} header.  This
 leaves {{{$content[1]}}} empty, which results in a post with a title, but
 no body.

 A different solution is needed to remove the headers from the multipart
 message.  I tried doing the following and it seems to be working, but
 there is probably a better way to detect this.

 {{{
 142             $content = explode('\n\n', $content);
 }}}

 A fix to this section of code will probably help most people that are
 having problems with blank posts coming from email.
