Oh, and by all means, check some messages via the web interface, without having gone in through Outlook, and see whether they have this same corruption.

Especially if you can check the web interface to read a new message from this same "sender" before Outlook has logged in to get it (do you use POP or IMAP in Outlook). If the spam is there, then it's not something on your computer, but something either at Runbox or at the sender.

If the message is fine on Runbox but once it gets to your machine it's mangled, then it's almost certainly something on your machine.

If you're using POP, I'm not aware of any way that your POP client could corrupt the message on the server. If you're using IMAP, I suppose it's possible that an infection on your machine has also corrupted something on the server, which is why it would be ideal to check the web interface for a message that you've not yet downloaded.

Finally, have you checked with the "sender" to see whether they even sent you seven messages?
