Lately I have been receiving e-mail with small PDF or ZIP files which are
under 25kb. These are merely phishing bots that verify an e-mails validity
most have no subjects

I have tried in vain to create a rule to delete this type of e-mail using
the "subject" rule. in Windows mail you cannot leave the text box blank nor
can you use spaces

Does antyone have an idea how to send these messages to the deleted folder
without doing s manually?
 
I appreciate your input but I don't think your solution will solve my dilemma
The problem is I have more than a few people who send attachments. With my
business I rely on information sent via attachment, so blocking attachments
is not an option. I cannot exclude "safe contacts" as I get referrals from
other people who send attachments

Since I have several contacts that need to forward information via
attachment arbitrarily deleting these e-mails is counterproductive. I need
to divert only the e-mails that do not have a subject in the subject line as
those are the ones I do not need


Thank you for your input

You may be able to play with the message rules.

You can set up a rule to say if the subject contains a, e, i, o or u to stop
processing more rules. Then have a second rule that says move all the
messages to a junk folder. So the first rule would put any messages into
the inbox if the subject had a vowel and then the rest would go to junk.
