I think these are viruses.

Maybe your ISP has stripped the virus from the email and removed too much.

I get a few message without any text in the body every month and they appear to
be a spam run that the spammer screwed up.

If these are bounce messages it is probably because the virus forged your
address in the "From" field. It is normal for the "From" to be forged by
spammers and viruses.
