I am receiving loads of 'no subject' e mails into my inbox, is there a way
of dealing with this problem as the create rule tool cannot create a rule
based on an e mail that has no subject or content.

What causes these mails anyway?
 
Probably, but since you provided no information about your version of Outlook, it would be hard to say.

Oh, and when posting about a problem with an Office product, it ALWAYS matters what version.

You may want to try this then- create a rule that "unless the subject does not contain 'a' 'e' 'i' 'o' 'u' 'y', delete it".

I prefer using a third party spam block called SpamBayes, available from sourceforge.net.

Hi Milly,
The mails I am receiving have no sender and no subject so I cannot create
any type of rule. Are they mails that have had the content stripped by
Norton?

You may want to try this then- create a rule that "unless the subject does
not contain 'a' 'e' 'i' 'o' 'u' 'y', delete it".

I prefer using a third party spam block called SpamBayes, available from
sourceforge.net.

Probably not, they are just crappy spam. Get a third party program to deal with junk like this.
