Archived Mail Messages are Blank

All of my mail messages, apart from the most recent ones, are blank? All that is visible when you open the message is the header bar showing the reply and forward icons?

Any way of rebuilding the mailbox?

Thanks

The best way is to restore from a recent backup - which is not always easy with mailboxes.

However, try this: Open Mail, click on "Mailbox" from the top menu and then select "Rebuild" from the last option. This may or may not work depending on what has been preserved in the data base.

Something else you can try: Go to the server itself at the web address and see if your missing mail is still on the server. It should be unless you selected the option to remove mail from the server after it's download.

Here is a screen shot of what one of the blank messages looked like.
