Email subject line garbled
4.5
The subject contains weird characters like "=?UTF-8?B?..." instead of text.
Symptoms
- Unreadable subject
- Code in title
- Foreign characters
Possible Causes
- Encoding mismatch
- Old mail client
- Non-standard characters
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Change Encoding to UTF-8
In settings, ensure "Unicode (UTF-8)" is the default for all mail.
2
Update App
Modern apps handle complex subject line encoding much better.
3
Check Sender
If only one person's mail is garbled, their system is likely misconfigured.
When to See a Technician
This is usually a "MIME" encoding issue where the subject wasn't properly converted to plain text.
