What is surely happening is that Mail.app is missing an essential font.

Possibly Mail.app under 10.4 depends on one more fonts that it didn't  
need in 10.3, for which your font software may have been developed.

In any case the solution is surely to uninstall all font management  
programs & restore your fonts to the default for the system (failing  
to import from Suitcase may be the root of the problem, but too late  
now). Once you have reached this situation Mail.app will surely  
display correctly and you can reinstall the Font Management  
utilities; if the problem returns then you can disable all fonts on  
your system and add them back one at a time to find out which is  
causing the problem. However your first action should be to remove  
all your font management software in order to establish that the  
issue can be resolved with that.
