Thunderbird just updated and most of my e-mails became unreadable

This is what most of my received e-mail messages now look like:

<td align=3D"left" bgcolor=3D"#ED3B30">

Some e-mails can still be read but the message is from a previously deleted e-mail and is not what the current e-mail is about. (A message from a previous e-mail has been inserted into the body of the new e-mail and the info. in the new e-mail has vanished.)

Can someone help me? Thank you.

right click the folder, select properties from the menu and then the repair button.

Aren't you brilliant!! Thank you so much. That fixed 95% of the problem. In a few cases, the info. in the body of the e-mail has been switched. For example, the e-mail from my town telling me about the upcoming election shows information about an upcoming meeting at my church. The election info. has vanished and the previously deleted church's e-mail's information was substituted in its place. However, I can live without a few e-mails I think. thanks again.

I did what Matt said to do yesterday and it fixed the problem. All day today my messages arrived perfectly. then all of a sudden at 5 p.m. (PT), they all became scrambled again. I did the fix three times and it did not repair my e-mails so I could read them. Below is the beginning of one of the scrambled e-mails. Any suggestions?
