Hi murrayfrombirmingham,
It sounds like you see "This message has no content" on your Mac, but it loads on your iPhone. Is that right?
Does this happen with mail from a specific sender?
Have you tried clicking Apple menu () > Restart to see if this helps?
If the issue continues after a restart, boot into safe mode with these steps: How to use safe mode on your Mac

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Take care.

I get the "This message has no content" on my MacBook but can open them on my phone or on the server. It happens randomly and not from specific email addresses. I have restarted my computer and Apple Mail. I also erased the account from my MacBook and reloaded it. That seemed to work for a few days but its has come back again and is random. I have not run in Safe Mode yet.

Take care.
