Emails from Invisible Man?
 
Hi folks,

At least three times each day I receive emails which have no subject, no
text and no sender other than the "-" character.

I've always assumed this is someone with no life who gets a kick out of
annoying people with spam-less spam. But as it's been happening for over
a year I'm wondering if it's something else. I have up-to-date virus
protection as well as Xtra's spam and virus blocking so I doubt it's
malicious. My biggest concern is that it's legitimate messages that are
somehow getting mangled or de-contented en route.

Anyone got an idea what this means?

I have always assumed they were messages sent by a mal-functioning spam
zombie. I've set my spam filter to auto delete them.

That not me, that was Mrs B. If you snip all my stuff, that's fine,
but please also snip my name too!

Cheers,
