Why am I suddenly receiving blank emails

[Guest]

I have suddenly started to receive blank emails within the last 5 days. At
first it was just one or two but now it's multiplying. I can't trace where
they are coming from as there's no TO & From nor a subject. Is my outlook
program doing this??Could someone show a semi-literate computer user how to
either fix this or investigate how to fix it?? For security I do have McAffee
and also adware.

Thank you

Outlook is not doing it. Everyone gets these from time to time, probably
from various Spam/AV reduction efforts along the way. If I were you I'd turn
off any email scanning that your AV program offers. You don't need it.

So look at the Internet headers and trace it there.

Me again,

I have looked at the headers and they are all different.

Any other ideas?

They still allow you to trace where they originated, but somehow I don't
think that's your goal. Just delete them or filter them out.

I have this problem, too. Exactly as stated. No From or To or Subject
or Message. Nothing. All the headers are different. In Outlook 2000 and
in Outlook Express.

How does one filter out these "nothing" messages?

As has been stated countless times in the last few weeks. Google Groups is
your friend.
