Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-Bit) does not display the correct email

I hope I’ve chosen the correct category. I believe this qualifies as a bug following the recent update.

When I opened Thunderbird today, it notified me about the update. While Thunderbird successfully fetches new emails, it fails to display them correctly.

As shown in the screenshot, the area where the email content should appear is completely white. Additionally, it incorrectly displays an attachment from an old email that has nothing to do with today’s email (10:13), aside from the fact that both were sent to me.

When I click on other emails in the same inbox, the content area doesn’t change—it remains blank. However, if I switch to a different inbox, everything works fine.

I’ve also double-checked using my phone’s mail app, and I’m able to open the email in that inbox without any issues.

I’m unsure how to fix this. Could someone more knowledgeable help me out?

Additional Information: It seems that only emails "with attachments" are experiencing this issue. Also: It displays attachments for emails that don’t have any when I check them on my phone.
