The problem is not OE, it's a problem message in the queue to be downloaded.

In your OE Inbox? Not a good idea! Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to
archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.
Disable Background Compacting and frequently perform a manual compact of all
OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
Consider creating from Message Rules which will delete such spam on the
server before even being downloaded into OE.
