Outlook downloads but won't show *some* messages...

Darn this is a difficult one to troubleshoot...

All of a sudden, Outlook 2003 won't show some messages. They are
downloaded in the inbox but have no preview, nor will they display
when clicked. It's not all messages, just like 4-5% of them.

Facts:
1) It's not my ISP as I have seen this using my ISPs email account and
a G-Mail account when downloading with Outlook.

2) I haven't added or changed any addins.

3) I temporarily disabled email protection in Zone Alarm and AVG, but
still got the no-show messages.

4) I have done "Detect and Repair" and that did nothing.

5) I can do a "Save as" on the message and it only saves as 1k when
saving it as any other file type than .msg . When saving as .msg, the
correct size is shown (as is the correct size shown in the Outlook
message list). I can open the .msg file in a basic text editor and I
can see the text of the message, so I know it was downloaded, Outlook
just thinks the message is blank. For example, I got a 27k message
from a place that I shop (something I signed up for, not junk) and
Outlook wouldn't show it, but I can save it as a .msg file and open it
in a text editor and see the message.

Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any suggestions for me to
try to get Outlook to show the message?

Thanks!
