I have a rule on my Windows Live Mail pop3 email account which automatically forwards certain emails to other people upon arrival so that I don't have to remember to do so manually. The rule relates to the original senders, so it is "where an email comes from person x, y or z, forward to person a and b"

Unfortunately, in the case of both recipients, what arrives is essentially gibberish. It is in code and you have to scroll down through it all to find the actual content. I think even the subject line is code rather than actual text.

Obviously this does not happen when I forward things myself manually.

Is it a bug or do I need to change some settings?

Thank you for your kind assistance
