Email body formatting keeps getting messed up

Hello.
I recently updated both eM Client and the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook 2024, and that’s when I started running into this problem.
The email formatting keeps getting messed up, but only on my Microsoft Exchange account. When I use eM Client to reply to any message in an Outlook 2024 desktop thread, the email shows up with huge gaps between the header lines, and if anyone replies or forwards it, that crazy spacing stays. I’ve got a mobile email app hooked up to the same account and it doesn’t do this at all, so I’m pretty sure this is an eM Client issue. How do I troubleshoot and fix it so the formatting stops breaking?

This is what it looks like now:

and this is what I expected it to look like and what it used to look like before

I have the same issue - I recently updated to version 10.4.5642 (MacOS) and many of my email messages have formatting issues.

Has anyone figured out how to correct this?

Can you please send us such messages as eml to [email protected] do we can analyze it?

We’ve found the issue. It was related to a workaround for a recent Outlook bug:

We’ve fixed it in the latest official build:

Windows
https://www.emclient.com/dist/v10.4.5647/setup.msi

Mac
https://www.emclient.com/dist/v10.4.5647_Mac/setup.pkg

Thank you, Michal. Just downloaded and quickly tested. The issue seems to persist:

This is what it looks like when replying to a thread with many recipients…mess…

I am not sure if this is the same problem. We’ve tested the newest version against your ebay emails and it worked just fine. Can you again send us the messages you believe are badly displayed to [email protected]?

Michal - I installed the latest version and all is well! Thank you!

@Michal_Burger, it was sent a few days ago, as requested. Do you need any additional evidence of the problem?

@Michal_Burger just sent another example of the issue.

I did some troubleshooting on my side. I removed the latest version, rolled back to an earlier release to check whether the issue existed before. With the newer 2024 Outlook desktop version, the behavior is different now, instead of a completely broken email body, I’m seeing a blank email. Just white.

To be clear, my mobile client handles all Outlook changes without any issues, which makes me believe it’s your app that can’t cope with the recent updates in the Microsoft product.

So now, I can’t actually use the app anymore for one of my big accounts- the Exchange-based one, because every sent message comes out looking like it went through a blender. Kind of a problem, honestly.

I see you have V10.4.5326 in your screenshot.

There is a later updated eM Client v10.4.5647 for PC & Mac you can try to see if that fixes the formatting problem via the release history page.

See my post:

Ok i see, hopefully official support can then find out soon whats wrong looking at the exported .eml files you’ve sent in.

I appreciate the suggestion.
