It propably became garbled because I have a filter that deletes emoji from the subject line, and cuts subject to 100 characters at the mail server level.
The reason for this, is because Microsoft Outlook does silent-crash when running a backup job and it stumbles upon a subject line with emoji in it, or stumbles upon mail with subjects exceeding like about 100 characters (because then the output filepath becomes longer than 255 characters and then Windows start to cry).
The problem with Microsoft Outlook silent-crashing without any error message, or silently terminating the backup job, is that you don't know what the culprit email is, so you have to search through the whole inbox. And silently terminating a backup job means not everything get backed up, so everything after the culprit email is not included in backup. (would be a different story if it just skipped problematic emails)
So pleaaase, refrain from using emoji in subjects.
By the way, could somebody do me a favor and transcribe what a screen reader says when faced with this topic title? (Yes, I did ask this in another thread on this same issue as well.)
