Difference between header of mail in list, and detail window

Sometimes after receiving multiple mails at the same time and I want to look at one mail by clicking on the subject in the list, another mail is opened in the mail window, and whatever I do (deleting the other mail, resending the mail...) I am not able to view the correct mail. I have to open the mail e.g. with Windows Live Mail and resend it from there to myself to be able to see the content. In the first screen-save I send along, both the first and the second line in the subject box in the upper window part of Thunderbird subjects thatr are very different and from totally different senders, show the same mail content in the lower part: it is the content of the second subject. In this case, although the subject line chosen is the first line (original sender ART PRICE), the message shown is the one from the second line (Paasweek from Huis en Comfort). After resending the mail from the inbox of Windows Live Mail I can see the correct mail as shown in the second image I send. Can you help me with this? Thanks and best regards. Ernest Matton
