There is a known problem with the Tasman rendering engine garbling the text
on a very small proportion of comlex HTML messages, but I have never seen
this in plain text.
You can check this out by turning off 'display complex html' in the
preferences (which will also speed up rendering of those messages), but you
will lose some of the formatting of the fancy 'newsletter' type of emails.
Note that the tasman engine is not used for plain text or simple html, so
those messages won't be affected.
