I am also having this problem. I can delete the email, and it reappears when I
open mail again. It is blank except for the date.

I also get this, but my blank emails are dated 01/01/1970.

If deleted they just come back the next time you return to the folder in question.

I have two messages in two different folders dated 12/31/1969. Unlike the other
reporters, I cannot delete them.

I am also experiencing this problem running Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 under
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.  I get these messages mostly in my junk
mail folder.

I have this problem when using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20030916. The blank email shows 12/31/1969. When I use Netscape 4.8 to
open the email, there is no blank email shown.
