i am having major problems with my yahoo account!!!!!!!!!?

Question

umm i got a message from this person and like half of it was good and dandy but then the other half was like weird it was like a lot of y's with two little dots on top and i already tried the encoding thing when you click on view it did not work and like i cant ask the other person to re send cause i just cant please i need help!!!!

Answer 1

Maybe they are sending it from a web form that messes up the text. Have them try sending it from the email client instead. Also, is the email from someone you know or a trusted 3rd party because it can also be spam.

Answer 2

Those Y's with dots on top sound like UU encoded binary data. Might be a virus.
