When I try to open certain emails, "formatting message" flashes briefly

When I view "All message headers" these show "X-evolution-source:local".

What could cause this to happen? I'm wondering if somehow the download
got interrupted and the messages are lost in cyber-space. But why would
the sender, recipient, subject and time info be there but nothing else?
Especially since it's for about 4 or 5 emails. If the download were
interrupted why would there be empty info on that many emails?

Is there any way to recover the content?

It's hard to say since you don't give the Evolution version, or the platform, or the type of account (IMAP, POP, etc.), but you could try Ctrl-U to see the raw message and check that the body is still there. If the messages are Mime-formatted there may be a problem (e.g. with gtkhtml) that could explain why you aren't seeing them normally.
