Yes, I see it too.  It seems to be mainly for largeish messages,
although 'large' might be only 5k!  I think it may be to do with the
time it takes for a message to get downloaded - it's as if there's a
timeout that's set too short somewhere.  I find if you just go to a
different message and then back again it's displayed correctly - if the
focus is in the right place ( :-) ) just doing up-arrow, down-arrow
quickly will display the message.

There doesn't seem to be any logic to when it happens so it's difficult
to file a bug on it.

Evo is 2.0.3 on FC3 - server is UW-IMAP on EL3.  My folders are not big!
