Outlook 2002 - Blocking Empty Sender & Subject Fields

[mz]

I apologize if I'm asking an old question, but I'm receiving a disturbing
amount of mail with apparently empty From and Subject fields, and with blank
message. Other than manually deleting it, is there a way to set up my Rules
to block or delete this type of mail. Or, if this is a separate issue, is
there a way to test for empty fields? Thank y'all.

If the subject doesn't have a .... z (put them all), delete from server.

see http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20041018.htm - try a similar
method, using the from field instead, for blank from fields.

If you are really getting a lot, something could be wrong. If you can access
your mailbox using a web browser (set up an account in OE if you don't have
web access) and verify the the messages are blank.
