The messages are very simple: body (which has a character limit of  
under 255) and the person the message is going to. As a parallel, it  
would almost be like running a "email this article to a friend" email  
through Akismet, where a from name/email wasn't required, and all  
there really was was a "to" email and a note.

That's a good question -- looking back at my code, I believe I was  
not passing the arguments at all, thinking they were optional. Later  
perhaps I will try passing the arguments with blank values to see if  
I can still get a "false".
