Batched EDI messages that are sent from the EdiSend pipeline are not saved for Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) in BizTalk Server 2006 R2

Consider the following scenario in BizTalk Server 2006 R2:

• You use the EdiSend pipeline in a send port to send EDI messages.
• You enable batching for the EDI party.
  
  Note For more information about how to do this, refer to the "MORE INFORMATION" section.
• You enable the Message Bodies tracking option to track any messages after the ports are processed on the send port.
• You open Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) to query the messages and then you select the Save all tracked messages option for the last Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiSend event.

In this scenario, you find that the messages are saved as empty files.
