I recently upgraded Exim to 4.98.2 from exim-4.95 and I've had reports of issues with html emails arriving in 'chinese'' - see the screenshot on the right hand side when sent to other than londonmet.ac.uk. londonmet.ac.uk addresses are handled / hosted on M365 and the emails display correctly (left hand screenshot) When we reverted back to exim-4.95.2 this issue went away, ie the same email (same contents) displaying correctly/as expected. I'd be grateful for any pointers to any changes / factors I should have taken into account when building / installing exim-4.98.2 Many thanks, Kind Regards, Alex Alex Tarry ITS | Storage and Platforms Engineer | T5-20 | 020 7133 4498 London Metropolitan University is a limited company registered in England and Wales with registered number 974438 and VAT registered number GB 447 2190 51.
