   I have received several junk emails which are indicated as large but show
on my reader as no content because the content is within the header area,
preceeded by a blank line. I can see the contents using a simple text
editor. Note that my computer does not run Microsoft, and is very unlikely
to even understand any code enclosed, so I have no problems viewing the
junk.
