That happens to me all the time--I don't think I've ever gotten a rejection with a non-generic editor's letter. But you have my sympathies--it is really frustrating to get rejected and not knowing why! I received a most helpful rejection letter from Social Psych Quarterly, outlining the reasons for rejection, suggesting which of the reviewers' comments would be most relevant, and even directing me to specific journals that might be potential venues. I had a similarly good experience with Social Problems. It really is frustrating not to know if the rejection is the result of a bad fit with the journal's mandate or substantive problems with the manuscript. In TSQ's defense, one of the reviews was particularly helpful and I was able to follow their suggestions and send it to the next journal within several days.

Social Psych Quarterly has been my favorite place to get rejected for the past 5 years! This spans two editorships (Emory & Northwestern). Editor letters were always helpful in explaining why paper was rejected.
