When sending an email with a .gpx file attached I find that my email and not the recipient has a large string of Chinese letters at the bottom. The attachment when received will open in some applications but not others that should open it. Sending the same attachment and others from a hotmail account opens perfectly by the recipient......so the problem is not with the attachment.

I'm Using Thunderbird 31.3.0 and have tried changeing the outgoing mail encodeing from Western(ISO-8859-1) to Western(ISO-8859-1) and Unicode(UTF-8) without any change.

First line of code starting like this....... and then the rows of Chinese symbols.

No problem in attaching JPEG, PNG orPDF attachments.

Any ideas!!

what happening if you disable email scanning in your anti virus? They scan Thunderbird mail, but not web mail.

Disabled email spamfilter in antivirus (Bullguard) with no difference. Chinese characters only appear on bottom of email when only a GPX file is attached. Email recipient does not see these characters. I have a workaround by using Hotmail email but just curious why this happens. Thank you for your reply.
