I seem to remember you did have an issue due to the .ru address a 
while back.

Its not "junk" as such its text encoded as UTF-8 (Unicode) which 
cannot be read properly by most RISC OS software, sadly its also a 
means of sending Spam as well

Thats because you are mixing Messenger pro (the email client 'reader') 
and the email transport - Netfetch/Hermes.

Have a look in the Netfetch/Hermes logs and they will hopefully tell 
you were they were put. The green tick should have downloaded them, 
subject to no spam filters you have not deleting them as spam due to 
the UTF stuff in the subject or email address, etc.

see it above its not Mpro its Hermes your email transport.

> 2) What can I do to open these emails?

a) add the email address to your whitelist in NetFetch/Hermes
b) enure you are not filtering them as spam due to the UTF staff in 
either NetFetch/Hermes or any other spam filter system you have.

Can't say based on the information you have been able to give us
