Are the subject lines/body scrambled in any other clients? try mutt for instance.
Are the headers mixed up aswell?
Mark,
Strangely enough, they aren't! What could be happening? Does this mean the problem is with Thunderbird?
Hmm, I had such a problem once with both Mozilla and Thunderbird, but you said you've purged the local copy. BTW: There are two files per mailbox, a *.msf and one without extension, you need to delete both, the msf is the index, but also stores the settings, like download status.
The problem was that the user had more than 2GB mail in INBOX, what let the local storage (mbox) of both applications crash silently. When restarted the complete file was mixed up, some mails OK, some headers only, some header and body mixed up. This can happen anytime, I've noted, when the sync process is interrupted very heavily, e.g. when you terminate mozilla during sync. I later tested this with a smaller mailbox as well.
The solution was:
a) move some mails to lower the INBOX below 2GB manually in the Maildir, and b) remove the INBOX cache on the client.
Bye.
