Occasionally? I get over 100 empty emails a day with nothing in them. I guess people get confused about the discard button, because my apps are not targeted at kids. Over 70% of my emails are empty. Maybe a small puzzle before you can send me a message is in order.

Why do you even let the user send an empty email? Sounds like a programming error as much as a UI blunder.

Because you can't spy on what the user is typing in the mail or text message composer views on ios.

In iOs, you have no choice. On top of that, I insert information into the email to help me debug it, such as the platform, iOs num and app version num.
