Why one message is shown in source code HTML ?

Hello, I just installed the new Thunderbird 128 nebulla to try it.

All my messages are looking fine except for one, which is displayed as HTML code (see 1st screenshot). In Outlook or in Yahoo mail (also see screenshot from yahoo mail how it should look like), it works fine so I don't understand. I haven't done any special settings in Thunderbird.

I also tried to change the 3 choices from the menu "body" inside this email (as show on my 3rd screenshot) (original HTML, simple HTML and simple TEXT) but this does not change anything.

The 1st screenshot shows the exact way it is displayed on my Thunderbird. The 2nd shows the correct display in yahooMail.

Thank you merci.

Well, my first thought is that "thunderbird is alway right" and has stronger HTML enforcement -- but maybe there is a real bug. Would you be able to redirect (not forward) to me at davidthunderbird at gmx dot com? I may not discover anything, but it's a possibility.

It looks fine in Daily, which is release 130. That does not mean it doesn't work in 128, but it works fine from where I see it.
