hotmail problem

[serena]

Hello
I have been using Hotmail, and recently have encountered the following problem. When I check the inbox, I have seen fairly large incoming e-mails, e.g. 160K, meaning either a lengthy e-mail or an attachment I guess. However, when I open the e-mail, there is nothing there, no message and no attachment, just the address of the sender. (These are legitimate senders, not junk mail.) Has anyone slse encountered this?
Thanks

Are you going straight to the Hotmail web page for your mail or do you have a mail client such as Outlook 2002 downloading your messages? joegz

I too have recently been receiving attachments in hotmail which are usually around 147kb. When you go into the message itself, there is no message and no attachment. The sender names appear as though they are legitimate people, usually just displaying their first names.

This happens when I go to the hotmail website to check for messages. I have been just deleting them but I guess I could forward it to my POP3 account and look at the mail header but there's always the worry that it could be some kind of virus.
