I get similar in kmail on 7.04. Every few days I see empty emails from unknown 
senders and unknown dates and no subject. In fact the whole header of the 
email is

X-Bogosity: Unsure, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.520000, version=1.1.5
 X-UID: 
 Status: RO
 X-Status: RC
 X-KMail-EncryptionState: N
 X-KMail-SignatureState: N
 X-KMail-MDN-Sent: 

Really weird and I'm thinking of googling to see if I can find anything on it
