That should not be an issue by itself. The more likely reason is probably use of 8-bit message (utf-8) without encoding in us-ascii (7-bit) compatible "envelope" - typically MIME Quoted Printable (as already used for the HTML section, but not for the plain text version). Some mail servers may not allow that and recode the message in MIME Base64 encoding (which is most likely the text below); while doing that, they should include this information in the header, but I suspect that this hasn't happened in the case of Guillermo (this could be checked if he forwards the received message in attachment - doing this via fpc-other would be more appropriate than here). Nevertheless, the real solution is probably for Philippe to configure his e-mail client not to send 8-bit messages without 7-bit "safe" encoding). Tomas

So I can't do anything, can I?

Unfortunatelly there are more users that sends their e-mail that way, specially chinese ones.

Thanks.

I changed the webmail configuration to MIME / 8 bits ... I hope it helps!

Sorry, Philippe, but I can't read your messages. :( > Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:39:20 -0300 > From: Philippe > Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Re: Problems reading some of the messages > from this mailing list > To: FPC-Pascal users discussions > Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

this one, like the other(s) you have quoted, is missing the content-transfer-encoding line that states what type of encoding is used... this one, like the others, should have a header line of

content-transfer-encoding: base64

to go along with the content-type header line... someone has a broken messaging application implementation...
