I have Win 7, SM 2.9. In the past week I have had a problem with
messages in that I can read them when I receive them. Then when I go
back to them they have reverted to the coding for the message.

SM 2.9 is still in beta. There was a problem with SM 2.9b2 (maybe also 2.9b1, didn't check) where compacting messages (automatically or manually) led to message corruption. This issue, which I was hit by myself, has been fixed in SM 2.9b3 which has just been released. Of course it's very unfortunate that an issue as serious as this one made it to the Beta channel, but at least it was caught before release.

According to the below comment (which is from one of the core MailNews developers), the only way to fix it is to repair affected folders manually, which I don't recommend to average users since it can lead to even more corruption, so I won't explain it further here (however, that's what I'll do to repair my folders). Your only other options are accessing your backups (if you have some) or deleting faulty messages.

(Please don't make that bug even longer; if you have further questions, ask them here please.)
