Weirdness in Mail . .

[beacher]

I'm using Mojave 10.14.5 on an MB Pro, and awhile ago, sometimes when I click on a piece of mail in my inbox, the page will display, but there's no content showing in the body. . . If I double click on the piece of mail, it will open, but in a separate window!    Anybody have any ideas on how to correct this?  As usual,  in advance!

I have experienced that very issue, with High Sierra. Discovered that if I just bide my time for a few seconds the page eventually loads.  Not a clue as to WHY. and not every e mail.

Thanks, Daryl; I guess it's good to know that I'm not “The Lone Ranger” in this, and you’re right. . . It only happens occasionally.

I had this happen just last week. Never got anything to display and decided to just dump the Windows-using sender's 'message'.

When this happens, is there a "Load remote content" button in the message Preview or window?
What do you have set in Mail->Prefs->Viewing?
How about Mail->Prefs->General?
Lastly, Mail->Prefs->Junk?

No, I've seen that button before, Jim, but it's been absent when this happens.

Another possibility is that it's javascript which I always try to block in Safari. I would assume that an 'html' email would still be using Webkit for display, but not sure Safari prefs would be effective. The few that I've got have been from one particular Windows users and are hardly ever worth wasting electrons on!
