What are the empty *-Re and *-re files?

Submitted by Anonymous on 18. February 2009 - 17:27.

A large number of empty files are being created as I back up my gmail account to Windows 2003 SP2 using gmail-backup revision 674.

The files do not have any file type; no .eml.

The file names look like this:

yyyymmdd-nnnnnn-email-address@domain.com-RE

and

yyyymmdd-nnnnnn-email-address@domain.com-Re

In other words, no subject.

Thanks!
