Hello,
My wife and I recently started seeing some emails in code. We both use Yahoo Mail. She has Window 10 and I have 11. Does anyone have a possible solution to fix this? These emails are from trusted sources and sometimes they are not in code. Any help appreciated!
Thank You!

Hi, Gerry C. It seems that there are more and more of us making noise about this. There are moderators who look at the posts. Perhaps this is not yet worthy of their attention. We'll just have to be the squeaky wheel and hope for the grease.
Thank you so much.
Hi again, Watchman. Yes, now I see what you mean and it makes sense. Thanks for clearing this up. Frankly I too would rather stay with what I know than upgrade to something unknown that might have the same issue, and more.
What we're all experiencing is seeing the source code of selected emails rather than the regular display. From what I've read online, MS is well aware of the problem but do not seem to be incentivized to provide a fix.
It's a debilitating problem since some of these emails are from financial institutions. I've not been able to ascertain any specific category of emails (spam, unsolicited offers, etc.) this is occuring with.
Needless to say, it's a problem begging for a solution!
Hi kkaazz,
I must clarify my position regarding Windows 10 as it seems you misunderstood what I was implying.
I doubt anyone would consider Windows 10 hasn't had its problems but at least it has been running long enough for Microsoft to sort many of them out. The current issue we have been discussing is that relating to a few coded emails coming through on Yahoo Mail as received via Windows Mail. As others have experienced, if you go directly to Yahoo Mail via the web these emails are as one would expect, yet when they are opened through the Yahoo account setup in Windows Mail you get a coded version. In my experience it has only occurred when mail is sent by a specific company with whom I have had dealings but nevertheless it must have something to do with a bug in Windows Mail. I also have my Hotmail, Gmail and TalkTalk accounts setup in Windows Mail but thus far I have not experienced coded mail coming through on those.
My comments regarding not switching to Windows 11 has no direct bearing on the issue other than the fact that I have placed my trust in Windows 10 and prefer to keep it that way. My feeling is that Microsoft must surely be aware of the complaints relating to the Yahoo coded email issue and should have sorted it out regardless of whether it occurs in Windows 10 or 11.
Hi, Watchman. Thanks for this, but now this sheds a different light on the issue altogether. I'm on Windows 10, as well as a few others, and we are all experiencing the same issue. Yet you say that your 10 is problem-free? Frankly, this is even more confusing and would seem to imply that you did something that prevented the 'corruption' (for lack of a better term) from occurring. Do you have any idea what it could have been? Again, thanks.
