I'm having this same issue as well. I tried removing .mozilla-profile and it didn't help.
Similar to (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/220045) If I click the expand-o-tron button above the message it refreshes and i can read the message, however if I then switch to another email the message doesn't update. I am running 8.10 and thunderbird has no add-ons. -- Emails appearing blank in the inbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213228 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
