I'm trying to think how I can write a message filter that will filter
"empty" message bodies, like those that contain just an image.

Any good ideas on how that may be done?

You're welcome. Want to do blank subjects too? Here's the whole shebang. I
just gave you the message body part before.

For Blank Subject:

Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words
Box 2 - Delete it from server, or Delete It and Stop processing more rules
to send it to Deleted Items.
Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time*
a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
Click: Options and change to: Does not contain....

{This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I
include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will not be
rejected}.

For Blank From: See rule #1, and
For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 he
http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm

For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the action,
choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to be
download for the rule to realize the message body is blank.

That can't be done if there is adjoining text. Use the "Block images......"
option in the Security tab. That was the reason for adding this feature.
