This thread concerns Yahoo mail being read on the Windows 10/11 Mail app. That's not clear in many of the posts in this thread.

This has been going on for some time and it seems others are having same problem is there a solution?

* Edit: As of 3 December 2023 the information below is still true.

There isn't a fix for this. At present, the workaround is to read these messages at https://mail.yahoo.com with a browser.

    I am using windows 10 and it's not really emails addresses just looks like a ton of letters and symbols. Like pages of them. Yes Yahoo email.

    As Robert Miller 2 wrote, the only solution at present is to read these mails at https://mail.yahoo.com/ where you won't have the problem.

    When I open some emails its just a bunch of email addresses and no message.

    1. Are the bunch of addresses where the message body should be? Or are the addresses up in the To: field and the message body is blank?
    2. Are you using the Windows 10/11 Mail app?
    3. Are these mails coming through Yahoo mail?
