That sounds more like a change in how they were sent.  Though you could
look for options like display as plain text.  Or the opposite, if
they're being sent as HTML.

If the texts are being sent as attachments, rather than being the
message content, I think you're going to be stuck with this problem. 
Most mail clients do not show attachments directly, though some can
have a click to view option for some kinds of attachments.  A sender
can suggest to automatically show the attachment, but that depends on
the sender doing it, and your client supporting it, and it being the
kind of data that the client can display by itself.

I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.
