Mystery mails

I regularly, these days, receive mails with no subject and no body. Does anyone know what the purpose of such mails might be?

  1. It's possible that someone who has you in their contact list got the Backdoor-IW virus, which sends a blank email to all of their contacts.

  2. Thanks for posting about this, Gene, and the helpful answer, Elvis. I've been getting these also and wondering what was up.

    Though it is hard to feel threatened by a completely blank e-mail. Feels like someone coming up to you with a realistic-looking gun and then a flag pops out with the word "Bang" on it.

    I like to send you emails listing all of your virtues, Gene.
