Couple of questions for you...are you getting these emails all the time, sorta like 1-3 a day? Are you getting them form different email addresses but they all contain the same gibberish? You might want to check the headers of each email to see if its coming form the same email address. If it is..then the person who the emails are originating from might have a kletz virus and your just the lucky recipiant. Now nothing to fear, dont panic and instantly start reformating your hard drive or jerking the phone cord out of your modem. If it is kletz, the email in your inbox will be all different each time, but the header will show one person who is sending you the same email. I had this happen to me, it wasnt chinese or japanese, but emails that I would not usually get like [email protected] subject: Hey man, hows it going!.
So....what do you do if it is kletz.
1. learn about it, here is f-secure's virus definition.

This thing rocks, tells you everything you want to know about a virus or worm. Just select K then go to kletz and read up.
2. Download there zip file and run the exe program. Why learn about it first, then run the zip file? because your going to have to..or should...send an email to the person who keeps sending you all this crap and explain to them kindly how to clean there system.
3. Dont bother runing your virus definition, kletz is deadly because not only does it send you junk email from the persons address book, but most av can catch it, you have to run fsecures zip file wich is nothing more than a little dos script to search for just the kletz infected files on your system. If you get a " no files infected" your fine.
I actually had this happen, for me it was full blank pages with nothing in them, was getting 2-3 a day, sent info to my wifes friend and within a few days, I stoped getting weird emails from her.
Again, it might not be anything...but the info is here just incase.
