Help please. Thunderbird often puts the wrong headers on emails. So the headers (subject, senders, etc) from one email are placed on the text of another email, and I end up having to delete the email and lose the information. Any way to fix when it happens again? Thanks

P.S. Restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and compressing, doesn't fix it.

Right-click the folder, Properties, Repair Folder, to rebuild the folder index.
