These are two examples. I've gotten probably at least two dozen of them in the last week.

Lately I've been getting email with no subject and nothing in the email with just an attachment. When I check the properties of the email I read what you see above. I would have left it alone except the same emails are getting more frequent and annoying. So I throw this out to the forum; what the heck is this stuff? Is it junk mail/spam, is it a virus, is it just annoying and ignore it, why send it and finally does anyone else get this stuff? What are these apparent mass mailed email?

I've checked my screened mail and see along with the usual scams to renew my accounts with Ebay, PayPal and banks I don't have money in there are a couple more of these 'blanks' my ISP have caught.

I've been getting those for quite some time, and I still have no idea if they're dangerous or not. As a matter of safety now I usually don't open unsolicited mail unless it's from a reliable sender and the subject isn't the usual penile enlargements/drugs from Canada/porno/mortgages/loans/shady deals.

I'm also puzzled why I get spam which isn't even addressed to me. Surely it is possible to block an e-mail with a different e-mail address in the "send" field at the ISP level.

Sounds similar to the old Swen worm.

There are a lot of mailing lists that send mail with the recipient's email address all set to the same thing. If you reject all mail with the receiver address /= to your own, it'll kick these out.
