Your mail came through without contents.  I looked back in the moderator
queue, and it appears your mailer used non-standard MIME types, which
ended up getting stripped when the mail daemon converted to plain text per
list policy.  Here is what you appeared to be asking:

In the future, would you mind writing in just plain text, to avoid
problems with your mailer generating non-standard content?

Meanwhile, in regards to your question, we need more details before we can
offer any assistance.  What command line did you issue?  How do you know
it is stuck in a read loop?  What OS is this on?  Have you tried strace
(or its equivalent) to see what the system calls are doing?
