    :confused: Has anyone noticed getting spam with no message in body? In other words I receive a 'to-from' and nothing else. AVG reports no virus, but it has me curious. And, yeah, I heard what curiosity did to the cat.

    Yes it happens all the time. Sometimes they are just fishing to see if some will mail back to complain to them. And when you do, you just got yourself added to a ton more spammer lists because you verified a valid email address for them to send to.

    Just delete them.

    Chaslang--thanks...I had deleted them. Learned my lesson about bouncing/replying to any spam.
