Hi Ronni,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
I guess I should consider myself lucky that I have only started
getting them in the last 3 weeks!
I didn't open them, I marked them as Junk and went to Delete Junk Mail
- I didn't dare looking at any aspect of it!
It is nice to have you back, Ronni.

Hi,
I notice there have been several postings of late about Mac Mail
problems.
I too am experiencing a problem with Mac Mail [v3.5] running on
10.5.6 - I get phantom messages without a sender or subject, only a
date. I have done some checking - it does seem to be an issue on
Apple Discussions but no cure.

This is not an issue with BigPond mail.
I have run Disk Utility and Yasu, but that didn't help.
Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? Any suggested causes?
Better still any possible cures!!
Hello Norman,
I have not received any of these Phantom "SPAM" emails. But, they
have been around for years though.
Select one of the blank messages and View>Message>Long Headers.
If you look through the detailed headers you will see where the
content of the message starts.
It's likely that the message was created by a 'zombie' system that
someone has taken over for the purposes of sending spam, and that
the program creating the spam message is messing up the format of
the email it's sending - which means that your email reader can't
find the sender, recipient, subject etc. where it expects them in
the message.
Just delete the messages - you're definitely not missing anything!
Cheers,
Ronni
