I am receiving emails that do not have any sender or subject information. I
receive about two per week from the aparent same source. How can I stop /
block these?

Create a rule that deleted all messages and then add an exception for a
subject that contains any letter or digit. This will eliminate all messages
whose subjects are either empty or consist only of punctuation.
 
thank you

and to explain, i was getting error messages that told me the question was
not posted.

Sorry, I don't understand. Please be more explicit. Exactly what rule did
you create and exactly when do you see this message?

OK, I understand now. If you were to use a real newsreader instead of the
web interface Microsoft supplies, you wouldn't have the problem.
 
I get emails that have no TO address, no SUBJECT words and no words in the
body of the email. I solved this problem by discovering that these blank
emails have a file size of 2KB. One of the selections while creating a rule
is the size of the file. So I told it to look for files with a size from 0KB
to 2KB and then DELETE that file.
 
Look people, all you have to do is open the email (kinda Chancey) then go to
the "VIEW" tab, then "OPTIONS" tab.
Now look in the "Internet headers:" box, here you will find a plethora of
things to filter out via when you setup your JUNK-mail.
stuff like
"Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from pugsly.boomerang.com ([199.242.204.222])
here is your senders address, and "YES"! now you can even block him from a
domain standpoint.
Holler at me if this has been any help to you............. Happy hunting!
 
You don't even have to open the message - just preview it in the preview
pane, right click and select options.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

Really? Each time? How long can this rule get before it maxes out? I simply
want to recognize that I've flagged this sender as Junk and subsequent mails
will auto delete. Can't the rule be set such that all in the Junk folder get
deleted? First time I get one, shame on you, but subsequent should NOT be
shame on me! If I say the sender is Junk - why must I have to receive more
from this same source?

I want to be able to block an e-mail and have the sender receive the e-mail
back so they know it was not read or opened
