  HELP! Why would this happen?

  I just put up a new post on my blog. On my blog it looks fine, but the email my followers received had the following, embarrassing, subject line:

  =?UTF-8?B?W05ldyBwb3N0XSBSZSBXaWxsbW90dCBGb3Jlc3RzIEx0ZCDigJMgRGlzY2xhaW1lciBvZiBvbmVyb3VzIHByb3BlcnR5IGJ5IGxpcXVpZGF0b3JzIOKAkyBkb2VzIHRoZSBkaXNjbGFpbWVyIG9mIGEgbGVhc2UgYnkgdGhlIGxhbmRsb3JkIGNvbXBh

  Cheers, Carrie

  I have searched and my suggestion is it contact Staff directly and ask for their help. I’m wondering about:
  Which email clients you and your readers are using?
  Do the email clients this is happening on accept HTML or plain text only?

  Thanks so much timethief. Really appreciate it. Both of the followers who received the gibberish subject line email notification of my new post, were on i-devices (i-phone or mac computer). Email was entourage, part of office for mac software. HTML emails.
