tks peping but I cant afford it, u know wat i mean.
i gotta find a solution first.

The full version Outlook comes with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel..) if you have one.

You don't need Outlook you can work around this just as easy in OE.

No doubt the messages are coming from spammers. You don't necessarily need to delete these message by a subject line rule. I gave up on that method sometime ago since spammers got more creative and now in your case leave them blank.

Instead I would add the spammers domain to your Blocked Senders List rule so that whatever message they send from their domain are automatically deleted.

Right mouse click the message in question and click on PROPERTIES. There you will see the senders e-mail address. Note the domain name (what comes after the @ symbol).

The click on TOOLS - MESSAGE RULES - BLOCKED SENDERS LIST. Click on ADD and then add the domain name.

The only quirk will be if it is coming from a domain that is common such as yahoo.com. You may then want to just use the Block Sender feature in OE rather than the above.

Hopefully this will work for you. joegz

tks peping but i dont have one.
tks joegz, will do that. those emails is coming from various public domains.

oh btw, wouldnt it be easier to create a message to remove message without subject rather than blocking all email addresses one by one ?
Tks

Got me curious, so I set this in my OE:
Click on Message/Create rule from Message...
In the top of the New Rule box, check "Where the Subject line contains specific words". In part 2 check "Move it to the specified folder".
In part 3 click on the hilited "contains specific words". In the box under "Type specific words or...", put in two "".
Click on add, then OK. Next click on the hilited "specified" and choose the Deleted Items folder. Click OK.
Will be checking my Deleted Items folder to see what happens. If it doesn't work, simply remove the rule.

No good. Sent myself an email with no message and it still came thru... bummer.
