Blank email messages

I sometimes get legitimate emails that display blank. The raw data is there, and I can go to one of my IOS devices and the message is displayed perfectly. I had this problem on an older iMac, but I wrote it up to an old version of mail. But I just recently upgraded to new with Ventura 13.2.1 and Mail 16.0, and occasionally get the same problem?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Open mail app select Mail>Settings>Privacy disable:

“Protect Mail Activity”

“Hide IP address”

“Block all remote content”


compare your results

reboot if necessary.
