|
|
Yes.
|

|
The result for any BODY[...] that does not actually exist is a zero-length
|
|
string. Normally, this is a client error (since the client can determine
|
|
what parts exist from BODYSTRUCTURE). However, at times it is convenient
|
|
for the client to do a mindless access, typically for BODY[1], so the
|
|
result is a zero-length string rather than a BAD.
