Windows 10: why am I getting garbled text in my emails?

All of a sudden , I am getting garbled text in my emails. Seems to be a problem with Business not personal emails.Using Yahoo mail.

Garbled text

In emails or texts, the text appears garbled, or the words do not form completely. This happens in receiving messages, also on FB and other applications. It does NOT happen when composing a message. I'm using Windows 10.

Thanks

 

Recipient gets my transferred or replied emails garbled

I am experiencing this problem too. I have WP 7.5. It appears to happen with WP 8 too. For example, see this post...

Garbled Email Responses from Windows Phone - Google Groups

That poster writes:

"the problem appears to be an extra new line character inside the long subject line; basically preventing the mail client from decoding the message properly and resulting in a lot of extra junk."

I did a test with this. I found the email that I had been forwarding to my friends. I sent it to myself at another email address. I received the same garbled text that my friends received.

I then went back to the original mail and shortened the subject line and resent it. It then behaved normally. So that is a workaround. However, it's hardly a satisfactory solution!

 

How to send an email that a phone receives as a text?

At my office, we want to have the ability to communicate with our electricians who are fairly low tech people. They don't check emails often, but text messaging would work fine for our need. I know with Verizon and Sprint you can using the text messaging app on the phone to text an email, and then if you reply to say L: 9995724770@VTEXT.COM that email will go to the phone as a text message.

Short of having all the electricians text an email to get these addresses, is there an easier way to go about this? I've never really dealt with mass texting before. Is say a Droid phone capable of sending a text to 40 people?
