I have a number of Bellsouth.net email addresses and so does a friend of mine. This problem started yesterday and is still happening today. When I send a Bellsouth.net email to her from Outlook, it appears in her Outlook inbox, but doesn't show who it's from or what the subject is. And instead of the simple message originally put in the body of the email, it is filled with code (and the message).

This problem only exists when I send a Bellsouth.net email. When I create an email in Gmail, and send it to my friend's bellsouth.net address, the email is fine. And the problem only exists in Outlook. When I check my email online, it looks fine.


And this problem exists when my friend sends me a bellsouth.net email as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it the same problem being reported in this Microsoft Q&A thread?

If so, you can try some of the solutions presented. But don't expect miracles. From everything I've seen it's a Microsoft email server bug and the only real fix will be Microsoft fixing their code.

I found a fix! I came across a forum where a person said they disabled Bitdefender's "Encrypted web scan" and it fixed the problem. I tried it and it works. My emails are back to normal! If you have Bitdefender, go to: Protection/Online threat protection/settings and turn off "Encrypted Web Scan."
