Description Bots may submit corrupt blank member contact forms, and it will send a blank email to a member.

There are two coalescing reasons for this:
1) The form only has 2 parameters, with obvious names, so a spam bot can fairly easily manipulate the form into just those two fields by coincidence, throwing away the hidden fields used to mark those two fields as not supporting blank values.
2) The form can be submitted as guest on some sites.

Add extra validation code.
