Why do I receive messages with blank headers?

I'm using Outlook (Office 2003). Often, when I receive a message (from a
trusted source) that has attachment(s), the message appears to come in with
the entire header (TO, FROM, DATE, SUBJECT, SENT:) all blank. These messages
always seem to have something to do with yahoo (often from a yahoo account).

The message itself contains all of the (I don't know what I'm talking about
here, so I may not describe it properly) MIME information and the attachment
itself appears in the bulk of the message in gobbledygook (code?). The
message always begins in this way

Received: from unknown (XXX XXXXXXXX) ([email protected]@69.199.240.239
with login) by smtp101.rog.mail.re2.yahoo.com with SMTP;

Message-ID: <017201c5dda3$a0aa24c0$6401a8c0@MOUNCELT>
From: "xxxx xxxxxx" <[email protected]>
To: "xxxxxx xxxxxxx" <[email protected]>
Subject: Balance
Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 17:45:27 -0500
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_016E_01C5DD79.B68D6BF0"
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2527
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2527

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_016E_01C5DD79.B68D6BF0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_001_016F_01C5DD79.B68D6BF0"

And then goes on with a "next part", and another" next part", etc...

(I've just changed some identifying information here to "x"
