Topic: Email question

[Khalee1]

Every so often I'll get a email that has no subject line and no text or anything else. Is that just somebody sending out bougus emails to see if my address is real? I mean I never respond to the things, or  open them as trend micro will pop up at times from them so I just delete them.

But I do wonder about them..

That's prolly what's happening...I've gotten to the point that I preview my mail through my ISP's online mail program.

Wait until you get emails to yourself FROM yourself!

many of those empty emails didn't start out empty, but your mail server's security software stripped out the contents because it flagged them as malicious.

and that is why I just switched to gmail in the first place.

I ran into a flaw (from my viewpoint anyhow) with GMail. I tried to mail a program and GMail just refused to send it.  As the sender I make that choice as the receiver you should be able to block receiving it and I would support GMail TELLING you that it is potentially dangerous.  GMail deciding to protect me from my own choices with no option to override them I disagree with.

I completely agree with you there and don't bother with gmail for precisely that reason.

That was my one and so far only attempt to use GMail.
