    1. Open Windows Live Mail and click on File > Options > Mail.
    2. Now, click on Read tab and uncheck the box for
      Read all mails as Plain Text.

    Hello there,

    It's usually bad MIME formatting that causes these sorts of problems, but it could also be a stray empty line in the e-mail header that's creating the same symptoms.

    If so, the issue may be related to a specific sender. According to the instructions on the official article, the sender of the email can change the format of the email. Maybe they changed the text format of the email when they sent the email to you, so that the email will also be displayed as HTML code when you receive it.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-format-or-plain-text-338a389d-11da-47fe-b693-cf41f792fefa

    If the sender does not change the text format of the email, then if you have other third-party antivirus software installed on your computer, we hope you can temporarily disable or uninstall these software to test whether it is these third-party software that is causing the problem appearance.
