Blank emails.
Just a thought that crossed my mind this morning, after getting my email.
Several times a week I get emails with no subject, and no content. It does not even say who it is to.
What is the point? I can see the same twisted logic that applies to 'phone box destroying idiots being applied to virus spreaders, but any point to this blank email misses me completely. This mornings one is attached for interest:-

terryJones,
There are a several reasons:
Take Care,
Richard
There are a several reasons:
- Spammer's Spam Program failed to insert the random title and body into the Email.
- Random testing of Email Addresses to see, which are legit for adding to Spam Lists
- Fishing expedition, to see if someone will reply so the Spammer can get your Email addy to add to Spam Lists.
- Virus sending random Emails out.
Take Care,
Richard
