blank emails

Now and then I get blank emails, no subject,no sender, no message, but when I
go to my other computer on outlook they are there from a variety of people
and places. This does not happen all the time and not from the same person.
I will get one, one day and not the next from the same person.

My own pet theory is that these are the results of a mass mailer having been
misconfigured by a clueless spammer. It's also possible that they're a more
or less lame attempt on the part of a spammer to test whether or not an
email address is valid.

I get the blank mail on vista windows mail but when I go to my other computer
(which has outlook) the actual message is there and no blank ones. If I
didn't have the other set up I would have missed those emails completly.Have
you received any of these. ?

I missed that part in your original message. I don't use Outlook but to me
it sounds like Outlook is rendering code (HTML probably) that Windows Mail
is not.
