If you really wanted to do it, a usertest along the lines of:
  IF LEN(d$)=3 THEN =TRUE ELSE =FALSE
should catch all of them (and a whole lot more besides: it would be 
triggered by a subject line of "Re:", for example).

Probably not worth bothering with unless you're receiving a lot of 
them, especially since the ones I saw had a payload consisting 
entirely of random phrases (no images, no website address, no 
telephone number, no stock ticker symbol, no political rant...)
