Every now and then I get an email on my 2018 iPhone X or my 2015 13"
iPad Pro where the entire content is in Chinese characters. However,
when I look at that same email on my 2023 16" MacBook Pro (using macOS
Mail), the email is just a normal email (plain English, no special
characters, no emojis, no images). The email also appears fine when I
look at it in Gmail using any browser (Safari, Chrome).

When I look at the raw message on my MacBook Pro (Sonoma > Apple Mail >
View > Message > Raw Source), there is nothing suspicious.

So this seems to be an issue related to the Mail app on iOS and iPadOS.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
