As annoying as this may be, I don't believe this would be a job for SA
unless the subject is particularly out of line.

many people respond to email with their thought in the subject and
no body content at all.

a form of lazyness i guess

But, you could always firewall the entire range of IPs (just kidding Bill ;-) )

I get some of that too. I dunno if some spam software is broken. If
you really want to filter, try:

body __NO_BODY /./
meta NO_BODY (!__NO_BODY)
description NO_BODY This message is empty.
score NO_BODY 1.0

This is untested. I dunno what it does to SA's performance, memory
usage, or if you'll get false positives on e-mails from people who mail
you files (ie. attachments of application/binary) without a message. I
am still too new to SA.
