How do I block msg's with no address in the From or To heading?


Look for "@" in those headers. Delete/move/whatever all messages that
don't have it.

The Header looks like this:
From:
To:
CC:
Subject:
As you can see they are all blank. How do you Block/Filter them?

You can filter on the subject. Create a rule that deletes all messages
except if the subject contains the string "a" or "b" or "c" or ... or "8" or
"9" or "0". This will throw away all messages whose subjects are blank or
all punctuation and keep the rest.

For the From header, define a rule that looks for the absence of the "@"
character. Same for the To and Cc headers. For the Subject, define a
rule that looks for the absence of any of the characters in the range
a..z and 0..9, or just check none of the vowels (a, e, i, o, u, y) in
the Subject if you don't care about reading e-mails written in languages
that doen't use any vowels in some words, like Welch or Jewish, or you
don't get non-vowel messages from your friends, like "Tsk, tsk, Mr. G.
CRX-3 @ 3M."
