“This message cannot be displayed…”

My fix for, “This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted”. In the body of text “select all”. Instead of “cut” “copy” or “replace” tap the arrow >. Tap BIU (for bold, italics, underline) and choose one. I choose italics. Important, then tap the subject line to escape the select all format.!

mail crashes when trying to open a draft containing a ticket for wallet All, iPhone 14 is up to date. I wanted to forward an email containing tickets for the Apple wallet. However, when I tried it, Mail crashes / quits. Now the draft email is at the bottom of the mail screen, and every time I try to open the email, the mail application crashed / quits? Other than removing and adding the account again, is there anything that I can do?

Incorrect display of regional characters on iPadOS Mail app Hello, I saw more threads with similar question, but seems to be unresolved so far. My situation is this: I’m using (Apple) Mail app on iPad for gmail and yahoo mailboxes access. Some received emails on yahoo contain unreadable text (regional characters are wrongly displayed) while it is perfectly ok when viewed via yahoo mail app or through web browser. I found some situations when text is displayed ok and for some not ok and it seems it is related to encoding tags in the mail. Here are some samples: 1) ISO 8859-2 8bit encoding Subject is displayed correctly while the body not - the only difference is that for body “8bit encoding” is mentioned. 2) windows-1250 encoding Strange is that again the subject is displayed ok, but text not ok even information about charset / encoding seems to be the same. But from the subject and body text it seems that there was different encoding used. I have also mail with iso-8859-2 charset with NO ”8bit encoding” and all is displayed correctly. For utf8 email all is also ok. If I replied on “problematic” email using web browser I could see correct text in the conversation (within reply mail) as charset changed to utf8. Of course I could use for each account different app, but I don’t want to have more apps for same purpose just due to bugs in standard cases. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks Stefan

P.s. I use this when composing new email messages to avoid this error.
