For some reason all of a sudden when I use Yahoo mail I get odd characters that appear randomly after composing the message on my iPhone 4, running iOS 4.3.2.

This is a new problem. No changes or apps have been added or deleted recently.

Here's an example of the message after I press send.

"there is a tendency of the yahoo account to introduce random=
characters onto my email messages with =3D 20 in it.=20"

As you can see there is a "=" after the word random.

Then after the word with a space these characters appear: "=3D 20"

Then after it & the period we see: "=20"

Anyone experience this?

I have both Gmail accts & one Yahoo Acct setup on my iPhone 4, and only experience this oddity on Yahoo.

Also it just began, after a long time of perfect Yahoo mail performance.

Because I've not made any changes to the device I'm not sure what's causing this.

Thanks.

This started happening to me on Monday. Sometimes the subject line would disappear in a reply too. I've tried quitting the app and reboots of the phone but didn't help. Any other ideas?
