Have you tried "Erase deleted items" under the "Mailbox" menu (at least that is 
where it is in my very old version 4.5 of Mail). I am assuming that you have a 
reasonable amount of free disk space; if not try fixing that first.

The web reports similar problems over the last few years but none say that the 
messages are empty. Maybe have a look at the raw source (View / Message / Raw 
Source in my Mail program) of the returned messages to see if that offers any 
clues.

You have not given a lot of detail as to what programs you are using and how 
you read your mail.

It would help to know:

  What device/operating system version you are using
  What mail client are you using
  Whether you are using POP or IMAP

Hi Alex.

I just took a look and I cannot see any permanent way of changing colour of 
text in the body.
Only each time you compose an email.

[WAMUG} Random email trash action

[Kaye and Geoff]

Hello members,

can anyone explain to me why some random emails that I delete but then decide 
to return to my In Box are totally blank when I then open them?  Only To: & 
Subject: …. are showing.

While here on email topic, how do I set the font colour for the body of my 
messages, when I am starting from scratch or replying to someone?  I have been 
in  preferences but nothing I do there seems to work.

Many thanks in advance,

Alex

[WAMUG} Random email trash action

[Alex]

Hello members,

can anyone explain to me why some random emails that I delete but then decide 
to return to my In Box are totally blank when I then open them?  Only To: & 
Subject: …. are showing.

While here on email topic, how do I set the font colour for the body of my 
messages, when I am starting from scratch or replying to someone?  I have been 
in  preferences but nothing I do there seems to work.

Many thanks in advance,
