Does it go away if you rebuild the index of the folder where the email is stored ?

RFC822 define the boundary limit between headers and mail body as being a blank line, we are just doing this with the email you attached.

So either we had an issue while downloading it, or something is corrupt on your server and we got it from there.

it is a comic strip subscription, so I can't ask them to send you anything. You could always go to http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot and subscribe temporarily though. This comic goes out every weekend(sunday), but it might work with another daily comic strip as well.

FYI restarting in safe mode with all plugins disabled and rebuilding the index also does not fix the problem. I thought maybe the "configdate" add-on was causing it but that does not seem to be the case(also, this addon worked in tb3).

don't worry, the subscription is free and they will not spam you

hmmm that's odd! the foxtrot email I just received today displays fine, but when I view the other emails they still display wrong. repairing folder does nothing.
