Overnight, Thunderbird showed some messages as blank or having some "random" characters / strings or some sort of html code instead of the messages. I know there is an archived thread about it, blaming the antivirus. But, unlike what is said there, the messages are ok on the provider's server (gmail). I'm currently reading them like that. I've tried reinstalling TB, but no joy. Only a few messages are affected.

Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.

Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder
