I just got an email - said 1 email. I look - there is NO sender name. Subject is "none" --- and there is nothing there in the email. Anything like that ever happen to you? Do you know what it is?

Ok now you all are scaring me - this is my son's computer -- hasn't crashed yet --- I deleted it. Having "issues" with a friend and never saw anything like this before. If you all have a computer prayer (ha ha) can you send it my way???? Thank you.

it is a phishing scam. some people are naieve enough to click on that. It probably has a small program in there that sends a message back saying you opened the mail and your email is valid. I get those a lot and delete them immediately! If you open it, be prepared to have your email box LOADED with garbage.
It was so bad for me one time that I had to give up my email address and get a new one.

Yeah , it happens all the time, especially on Yahoo and when i using Outlook Express, don't worry , maybe the e-mail had a text body which was html and the antispam system just blocked it

It's a Trogan (I think) to see if they have a valid e-mail addy. Be prepared for the spam now that it has been opened.

I would run a virus, worm, spammer, hacker scan. You may have downloaded a bad thing.
