Draft Folder, text of messages is gone

[andrew]

I installed Enigmail a couple months ago as I needed encryption for a series of emails.
It worked fine. However there was one strange thing I'd notice occasionally; when opening a draft message in my "Drafts" folder, there would be no text in the message ....for anywhere from 5 to about 15 seconds. Then after this time period, magically the text of the draft would appear.

This always bothered me and yesterday when I no longer needed encryption, I uninstalled Enigmail.
Now when going to my "Drafts" folder, all my drafts are there but when opening them, there is no text. The body is just blank.

This may seem a minor issue, and probably would be for most people, but due to how I use my "Drafts" folder I have many, many draft emails with information I need.

I back up my computer daily via Acronis however the last backup was done before Enigmail was uninstalled.

Any idea what's going on here and how I can get my drafts back? I need this info.

Thanks,
Andrew
