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.

How do you correct the email to be read able as it looks like scrambled words and cannot read

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.

    Thanks Don but I'm not having any luck with your suggestions.

    OK. Read the garbled messages at https://mail.yahoo.com

    You and so many others of us are having the same problem. Able to read all messages on phone. Some Yahoo emails (some important) received in code on laptop. I go to Yahoo Mail to read those, which is an extra unwanted step, but a workaround. Haven't had any luck with Don's suggestions to set up to read in plain text and or read in outlook.com.

    I have a new laptop and as of three weeks ago I am having the same problem with reading some of my Yahoo emails via laptop. I have MS365 Version 2206 (Build 15330.20264). I don't have the issue when reviewing emails via Android phone, or iPad. This is frustrating, I am in business, work from home, and I am missing important e-mails.

    Ex: letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start;=

     text-transform:none; white-space:normal; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; -webk=

    it-text-stroke-width:0px; background-color:#ffffff; text-decoration-thickne=

    ss:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-decoration-color:initial

    1. Inconvenient but might help... try reading the message in Plain Text.

    1. A workaround...

    If your email account is @outlook.com, access webmail with a browser at https://outlook.live.com
