Question

strange code/characters in email

I have received emails on my iphone from 2 different people where the email consists of characters & symbols that look like a code or different language. Both senders are known to me and are from trusted companies and it is the first time I have received such emails from them and the same emails received on my computer I fine so at least I know what the are saying. I contacted both & they have not had any trouble with emails so I presume it is my iphone with the problem

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Those codes are just a part of email that is normally not visible for the reader. Why it would appear for your messages I don't know (ms exchange sometimes does it). I don't think it can be fixed at your end.

To see all the underlying code in Mail, do View / Message / Raw Source on a message.

Sorry, I don't know any way to fix that. All that stuff is actually part of the email, but normally you don't see it.

I have seen this happen when removing attachments. Did these emails have attachments which you removed on your computer? Is your computer a Mac or Windows device?
