Outlook 2016 receives email as raw content
Problem reported by Ng Cher Choon - 9/24/2018 at 6:56 PM
Submitted
One of my customer receives an internal email. It is being sent as a plain text via the sender's iPhone.

The receiving end could see the email message properly in webmail. However, when seen on Outlook 2016, it was being seen as a raw content with all those "=20" lines and other formatting codes appearing in the email. It is exactly the same if we see the message in the raw content in Webmail.

Also, another observation seen when the message was opened in in Outlook 2016 was "This message has extra line breaks". We click on it but there was not much changes in the formatting of the email. This means the formatting codes still appears in the email message in Outlook.

An example of the how the partial message is being seen as raw message in Webmail and in Outlook 2016

The whole raw data is extracted for investigation. Can Smartermail engineer look into it?

Hi,

I Reported that situation 2 weeks ago, and till now SM haven't done nothing, not even a reply to my ticket.
Unfortunatly I decided to download to Version: 16.3.6802.

For us this issue and a few others introduced recently made SM unusable, so we downgraded to v16.3.6782 and we`ll stay on that for the foreseeable future. We`ve had so many issues and complaints after v16.3.6816 onward (ever since the size of the installer shrinked by 15%) that it`s unreal.
