Emails in local folder won't display

I have a local folder that has about 950 emails in it and is about 9MB in size. Today, when I choose an email in this folder to view, it just says Loading... at the top and then there is a blank screen below. I have tried Repair Folder. I have tried creating a new folder and moving emails over to it to view them. Same problem happens in the new folder.

The odd thing is... if I choose to view the email in a new tab or in a new window... it displays fine.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks for your assistance

Well, it turns out the parent local folder of this folder seems to be corrupted. If I move the sub-folders out of this parent folder, then I can see the emails in them just fine.
