[Mimedefang] Odd messages

I've seen a few messages recently, mostly from Google mail, that are
unusual in that there is no obvious reason for them.  No sales pitch, link
or malware attached.  The headers indicate it was a legit gmail message.
This is the latest received:


Hi Sir/Madam,

               Have a nice Day.

Regards
Hook


Could they just be probing to see if an address is valid (or at least
doesn't bounce)?  Other possibility is that the developing region slave-bot
manually typing it for a pittance forgot the money shot part of the
message.

Anyone else seeing these?  Any idea what is behind them?
