I'm also seeing this very occasionally.
I'm pretty sure its a TB bug as looking at the same maildir via
Mutt/dovecot shows the proper contents. My guess is it's the same
underlying bug that the tb-negative-fetch workaround helps, and that for
some reason TB is caching bogus information about that UIDL. I haven't
yet worked out how to flush TB's header cache and re-fetch all the
headers (short of removing dovecot's index files....)
Refiling the busted message to a new folder then back again fixes it.
