Thunderbird recently started showing some emails with no subject and with a load of encoding information instead of just the message. This starts with the DKIM-Signature then the X-Sonic DKIM-Sign then the X-Sonic-ID, X-Mailer, X-Spam Score, the text of the message itself then a load of styling code. This is odd, random emails with no apparent connection between them (sender, sending software, etc.) The emails themselves appear perfectly normal if viewed on an iPhone and also in MailWasher which fronts my email downloading but only exhibits these issues in Thunderbird (version Eclipse 140.1.1esr 64bit I've tried repairing the folder, and repairing the text encoding. I've tried alt-V and adjusting the headers and message body settings (as suggested in a similar fault fix from 6 years ago) with no improvement. Any ideas what might be causing this, please? I've attached a snapshot of the start of a typical email (can't fit it all in a screenshot) Thanks... Chris

Solution update posted at 8:48 Eastern time (12:48 UTC) Thursday by Alexlandru_BD, an admin at bitdefender, "The developers reverted the changes made in the last signature update and this should do the trick until a permanent fix is deployed. Just click on update in systray and reboot once completed. But keep in mind this change is being rolled out gradually, so it may not reach everyone at the same time.."
