No subject

[Thomas Bennett]

Even if you trust the sender, wouldn't you expect a message, a subject, or both? Otherwise you might be one of those "Too many people" that "fall for virus scams" .  There are too many trojans/viruses that just use the client's email program to spread itself.  If I knew and trusted the sender, I would send that user a new email to confirm the significance of the email and I have done this to find out that the user's  machine had in fact been compromised.
