Hello,

I am hoping someone here might know something...

OS: Windows 8.1 (JP)

WLM version: Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3563.0918)

Default character encoding: Japanese

Problem:

-After installing KB3093594 the sender's name gets corrupted

-No problem for the titles, mail messages, recipient etc.

-No problem if sender's name contains alphabets/numbers

  Only if the sender's name is Japanese(contains kanji characters), the characters get corrupted

I've tried changing the character encoding to other Japanese languages,

UTF-8 etc. but it doesn't really solve anything. The mail messages get corrupted instead.

In the Japanese community, the discussion ended by someone telling the user

to stop using Windows Live Mail or to change to IMAP server.

But since this problem came from the KB3093594 update

I prefer to fix this issue without changing to IMAP server(well that would be the last resort).

I've checked out KB3093594 related postings and the one below but still can't figure out the the way to solve this issue.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?
