I've had the email problem for a while so increasingly look at my yahoo mail on my phone. I've been on windows 11 for ages and it certainly hasn't helped resolve the problem

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!

2023-03-18T17:21:42+00:00 About 1/2 to 3/4 of my Yahoo mail shows the source code instead of the text. One thing that's changed is with some mails I can hit the "forward" button and then it drops down another email which I can read if I click it. I'd guess that's about 1/4th of the time.
MS has been very disappointing in their non-solution to this matter which I've been experiencing for at least a couple of years.
And now I learn my Dell i7 computer with gigabytes galore of SSD drive space and maxed out memory, somehow doesn't "qualify" for an upgrade to Win 11. Huh??

2023-01-09T12:20:48+00:00 I've had this issue with Windows Mail since last July 2022. Two modern laptops running Windows 10 and now upgraded to Windows 11 but to no avail. Still getting most Yahoo emails in HTML code (even the replies from this thread!).
Doesn't happen when viewing on any mobile phone. If you go to the Yahoo website all the mail appears as it should. If you then re-send the same mail to yourself it then appears as normal on your Windows Mail laptop/ computer and not in HTML code.
However, I've since discovered that the issue is related to a Windows update. I've dug out an older laptop which has Windows 10 but hasn't received any updates since early in 2022 and the Windows 10 Mail client works fine.
I updated Windows 10 today to the latest version called 22H2 as recommended, restarted it and - hey presto - the email problem has now occured here too! Many emails appearing in HTML.
In summary, Windows version 22H2 has caused this problem.
