Question
Why do emails come thru in gibberish?  Thanks for your help.
And how do you correct this?yfe3

Answer
There's a variety of possibilities depending on what you consider gibberish. Could be encryption, a different characters set, MIME encoding or a number of other things.

The best bet is to ask the sender to resend as plain text.

Hope this helps
