Yes, we have seen at lot of them. I think that this is by design as it would
have been, initailly at any rate, a good way of confusing end users.

We've noticed a few problems with it as well.  We've received a few e-
mails with one of the typical Sobig subject lines, only no 
attachment.  The attachment headers are in the e-mail, so our MUA 
thinks there is an attachment, but there is just no "body" to the 
attachment.

Either there are a few broken variants out there sending out e-mail 
without the payload, or something in-between us and the sender is 
stripping out the attachment.  It isn't our AV system, since it would 
quarantine the entire message.

Has anyone else experienced this?
