It's possible to have a message which consists of headers and an
attachment, but no text. If the attachment gets stripped off (as a
detected, or perhaps just potential, virus carrier, for instance), it can
leave an empty message.
Legitimate messages in HTML usually include a plain text version for email
clients that don't (again, usually as a safety feature) render HTML. But
some HTML-encoded spam doesn't bother to include a plain version.
I've occasionally had an ISP issue where I got some messages that were
just headers with no body -- and other bodies with no headers! That hasn't
happened in a while, though.
