blank emails

In the last few days I have been getting email without a Subject, Date or From line.
The raw header looks like this:

Correction! I know what its ABOUT but why the missing headers? Trying to use 'young speak' caught me out!

My guess would be trying to avoid spam filters - though I would have thought that would have made it more likely to be caught.

Do you know a Rachel Whitley?

is this a botnet message none of the ip addresses produces a result. perhaps you are on the fringe of a spam network.
