Is there any update of any progress of a bugfix already?


Nope, not yet.

I have the exact same problem.
Looks like it has something to do with 'undisclosed-recipients'.
I don't know why, but even if I have one address as 'to' and two
added in 'cc' Outlook changes it into 'undisclosed-recipients' and
the problem seems to occur.


it has to do with receiving the message via Bcc. I don't think what's in
the To field has any bearing on it.

I can post the headers if needed.


No need.

Disagree!
This message was only send to people using 'To' and 'Cc', and still got
messed up with =20 and other things.

Disagree all you want. Up to this point, no one has ever presented evidence
for the problem under any condition except what I've described. Before I
could conclude that what you're seeing is a result of the same issue, I'd
have to know more about it. The message you included appears to have come
from you, not received by you. That means one of the other people (in the
To or Cc) must have received it any it is they who might have seen the
problem. Moreover, I see no evidence that there's any "undisclosed
recipients" in the example you included, yet in your initial post you said
"Outlook changes it into 'undisclosed-recipients'".

Default unreadable emails in outlook 2003

I run XP and Outlook 2003 and I have this problem too.
It only started about 6 months ago but before then, everything was fine.

This problem occurs even when I am the only recipient of the email which was sent us To: and not Bcc I asked the sender)

Outlook receives my emails from 3 accounts/sources: Gmail, Hotmail and my email address with my ISP.
The emails are perfectly legible if I were to read them directly in gmail or hotmail etc. If I resend the legible emails from say hotmail to gmail or vice versa, I get mixed/random results ie some emails are garbled again but some come through normal!

I haven't got a clue why this happens but it is very frustrating.

Default unreadable emails in outlook 2003

I am having a very similar problem with my hotmail acct. Reading the emails
in IE7/hotmail website, all is very clear.
In my Outlook 2007 SP1 (OS Vista SP1) when I download into the hotmail
folder using http or the outlook connector,
my emails have a lot of strange characters. Happens to my emails from China
only.
Using XP Outlook Express, I dont get this problem when I download the paid
hotmail acct into OE.
I have been struggling with these two weeks already and no clue how to solve
this, am thinking of going back to XP
using outlook express!! Any help will be appreciated.

Please define "unreadable." What shows in your mail message? Nothing? Random characters?

What character set do you have set for your encoding? What happens if you change it to something else?

Default unreadable emails in outlook 2003

I paste 2 samples below:
It only happens to some of my incoming emails which I rec fm China contacts
but other emails fm China are okay. I have random question marks instead of
new
line feed and space in between becomes random characters, some characters
also change to unreadable.
I have UTF-8 Enabled and now using rich text, but same happens with HTML.


Question marks appear frequently and then the unreadable characters:
