Why can I only see some of the text messages that I receive?

[AC Question]

I've noticed that on some emails they are categorized as high priority, but when I click on the notification to open the message it is blank with the high priority marker off to the side. I know that there is an actual message there too, because the notification on my phone, let's me preview said message and I can read a few words, but I can't see the rest of the message.
