Q: Wordpress Post via e-mail writes a random string for the post body This is my first time using Post via e-mail on Wordpress. I set up the e-mail with googleapps/gmail such that the e-mail server is ssl://pop.gmail.com:995 with the associated username and password.
Wordpress successfully retrieves the e-mail but when it writes to a post, only the title of the e-mail is displayed. The body of the post includes a random string.
For example, I sent an e-mail:
Subject: Test post by e-mail
Body: Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!

The post on my blog, however shows the following:
Title: Test post by e-mail
Body: U3BoaW54IG9mIGJsYWNrIHF1YXJ0eiwganVkZ2UgbXkgdm93IQ==

How can I fix this such that the body of the post correctly shows the body of the e-mail sent?

A: You should send email using plain text format.
See official documentation for further info.
