"Hey you",
I see that you have updated WLM and questioned the font resolution. What you're seeing is raw eMail. why is the question. If you select a msg and view properties, details - you should see the same sort of code.

edit: Is it just Yahoo? Do you have another eMail server you could test-AOL?

Try turning on logging for eMail and see what it tells you.

It is just Yahoo. Everybody else comes in fine. I checked email box as you suggested, but don't know where to find the log. I just got windows 7 in January with my new PC and it is driving me crazy. I am use to XP. To tell the truth I am TOTALLY lost!

Um, When you say "Everybody else" do you mean MyFriend@yahoo, MyFriend@AOL, MyFirend@Gmail
or do you mean MyFriend@anywherebutYahoo
or do you mean everyone besides Yahoo Customer Care

I'm just trying to narrow the possibilities

send a screen shot of the mail that is weird.

Subject: yahoo email

I called my server tech support about the yahoo email.
I was told to update my window live mail.
I have updated windows live essentials when prompted, but I don't know how to do mail.
The tech said my problem was I did not have the font installed that yahoo was using.
Sounds like a crock to me...............

I see twow providers To:ATT and From:STI, but no Yahoo, so it's confusing on this side. BTW, brother & sister, Father & daughter? Two kings....

Ya know what, i don't know where the logs are either. Try searching C:\ - use the neato keeno type:log keyword:value pair in the search box on explorer. It's probably in your AppData\Local\Microsoft\Window Live Mail folder, but it might be in the Windows tree.

Yep, there is a learning curve to Win7 - after two months, I'm getting used to the differences. I like most, some..... I dunno - but it's only been two months - lol

Here is what I get from anyone sending from a Yahoo web site. Of course I removed the email addresses.......... b=OlgD2k3qs3QPTcM2TSCwohrkqLNaaOBsQ6Ls+H3oyV8nwpsfAoymUHkKweq+wmXOHdiZ13nfgl3DErwaU0Y4JrcqkBfwEbw9mE hmhYpDSi0XRPKOl4Rc05oklTlWFSCXQ/pHAx13XHwOEtX9eVL1a5pPf3uqNz6ycnZqBE1Ba2c=;

Update on logging: there is no f1 help, I turned on logging for general and E-Mail here, did the search for type:log - nothing for WLM, did a search for date:05/25/2012 - nothing for WLM. hit the ? on WLM - took me to the web, nothing on logs found (lots of promoting WLM features).

Anyway - that seems to be of little help.

OK the problem IS with my AVG. Just uninstalled it and am now downloading MS Security Essentials. Hope this works. If it doesn't, I give up. Thanks for all the Help. I'm out of here................

I thought I marked my issue solved. Anyway it boiled down to the fact the last update to AVG protection made it incompatiable to windows 7-64bits. It would send the yahoo message to my server junk mail which in turn sent it in raw form to my mail box. By changing over to Microsoft Security Essentials free version the problem was solved. Again thanks for your help!
