Found a solution for this exact problem. You have to manually uninstall the mail app then reinstall it through the windows store. I tried to reset the mail app but that didn't work.

Has anyone found a solution yet? The bug is still present in my version "16005.14326.20544.0" (which apparently was installed a few days ago according to MS Store...)
stefkoch I tried everything I could. The only thing that solved the problem was a fresh (and clean) reinstall of Windows.

- Surely will try, but this problem is going on for a while now. And I did find this video and did the removal and reinstallation of Mail app via Store - problem was, it happened again... Thanks anyways.
After initial installation of the Mail app, sending mail using GMail account worked (few days ago).
Today tried to forward one mail and this awful error reappeared... very sad and mad about this.
As mentioned, this goes on for some time now with most of the Mail app versions having this "formatting" problem...
Picture below can be seen in Drafts folder using Gmail over web browser. Trying to see this via Mail app is not possible. It even does not open the original mail I wanted to forward... Until I restart the app itself (though, even then, draft folder seems empty there).
