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.

Some of my yahoo mail comes in unreadable state some e mails are fine

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.

    A couple of days ago I began receiving emails in my Yahoo account, in code. The emails include alerts and notifications/information from select stores, bank, etc. that always came in as text, before. I can see the text on my phone, but not on my laptop. I took the laptop in to be checked by tech service but after cleaning the system up, they couldn't find the problem and said I should contact Yahoo. How do I fix this?

      <meta charset="utf-8">

      <meta name="x-apple-disable-message-reformatting">

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1" />

      <base target="new">

      <!--[if !mso]><!-->

      <!--<![endif]-->

       <style type="text/css">

        _:-webkit-full-screen,

        _::-webkit-full-page-media,

        _:future,

        :root .foo {}

        @supports (-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch) and (color:#ffff) {}

        .ExternalClass * {

          line-height: 112%;

        }

        .ExternalClass p,

        .ExternalClass span,

        .ExternalClass font,

        .ExternalClass td {

          line-height: 112%;

        }

    etc, etc. etc.

    I am currently having the same problem. Looking at dates, is it a good assumption that this is not going to be fixed?
