Hey there,

mails sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad contain lots of garbled HTML:

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Of course not. That's amazing! Your software is a great diagnostic tool, too. I just need to spend some time with it.  Many thanks!

Is this known? Any chance you can fix it?

Thank you,

   Since I'm about to ask another question in a new thread, I figured I revive this one, as I have never received an answer...

   Any comment?

   Thanks!

   because yahoo are crappy programmers, I kid you not the plaintext mail comes in like this:

       ------=_Part_160406_1771274219.1472171419370
       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
       Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
   
        blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px =
   #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:whi=
   te !important; }  Thanks for your reply. I have limited the columns to the =
   basic ones I need, keeping everything visable on the screen. Now I find tha=
   t I'm getting BPM info for only about a quarter of the songs. This does not=
    correspond to thise which records are locked because of DRM. Is there some=
    setting that needs to be changed? Surely, there should be bpm for Born to =
   Run.=C2=A0
   

   etc.

   basically any html mail by spec should contain a plaintext part, and it's that part we use so that your tender doesn't end up looking like myspace circa 2008. Also so we don't have to write a thread-parsing algorithm that takes into account xml.

   In this case yahoo has implemented a crappy version that puts styling right there in the middle of the text instead of stripping it out. Go, yahoo!
