Hi there,
I hope you're doing well ?
I am coming to you because we are encountering a relatively specific technical problem,
Indeed, when a customer submits a form from our website (Shopify form), we receive it on our professional email address (Outlook Exchange OWA).
We first contacted Microsoft, thinking of a problem related to messaging, despite researching for 3 weeks and reaching technical level 3 from microsoft engineers, the result is that there is no problem in the sending the e-mail and that it complies with the standards to be read by e-mail software.
We also did different tests with microsoft, with email signature, without signature, with table without table and the problem is still there.
We therefore contacted Apple and their technical support (because it is a reading problem that only occurs on iPhones and the "Mail" application), again after extensive research the "Mail" application is not the software in question.
The only link between the 2 being the Shopify form which formats the e-mail in a special way so we come to you, have you had or already noticed this problem? Did you solve it?
It seems that the problem comes from the formatting of Shopify's internal form and that it is misinterpreted by the Mail application on iPhone.
Attached is an example of what this produces, blurring is normal and is for privacy reasons.
Thanks for your help
John
Hi there,
Our best wishes for this year and lots of business 😊✨
No improvement on our side, do you have any help for us?
Thanks in advance 🙏
One of our sites is getting this same issue. Also working with Microsoft 365 Outlook. It seems like there are divs being inserted between text and are either stretching or shrinking the line height via a set height in the div. Doesn't happen on all email clients. Have you been able to resolve this?
Hello, Indeed this is what seems closest to the problem, unfortunately each of the contacts made passes the buck (Shopify / Microsoft), what is your domain name provider?
Domain registrar is godaddy. not sure how that would relate.
Good morning Richak,
Thank you for this clarification, we do not have the same registrar, so we can also exclude the problem on this side.
What is curious is that the problem only happens when we answer a client email sent from the form but answered with Outlook OWA, this does not happen when responding from Outlook installed locally or from another messaging.
Gotcha, I just asked the client yesterday to try the desktop version of outlook versus the web app. We'll see how it goes. I think we can trace it down to there being some sort of code conflict between the raw html sent from the shopify form email and outlook
Good morning Richak,
Great ! If you manage to solve the problem I will be very happy to have your information 🙏
Was this resolved? I have the same issue !
Hi, I'm having the same issue. Were you able to resolve it?
Good morning,
Unfortunately the problem is still present, there has been no update of this format by Shopify at the moment.
If you find solutions we are interested 🙂
Any solutions? I have the same problem!
Good morning,
Unfortunately none, everyone passes the buck (Shopify, Microsoft, Apple) without knowing who the problem is even if Shopify formatting seems to be the reason.
Best regards,
Hello. Have you found any solutions for this? Does it only happen with the Outlook web app? Have you tried using the Outlook app installed on Windows or on a Mac? - And has Shopify responded?
Thank you
Hi! The way to solve this issue is to download the Microsoft Outlook app instead of using the web version. I did many tests, and when you respond using the Outlook app it works 100% of the times. - The issue only occurs with the web version.
We have the SAME issue, any improvements or solutions?
Hello,
For the moment not a new solution, same issue for our customers.
Have a good day,

Good morning,
I would say that this is an alternative and not a solution, as the problem is still present.
When we work on several different workstations, the Outlook Web solution is the simplest 🙂
Good day
I am having the same issue. I've found that when I reply to the customer message from the mobile outlook app on my iPhone, the reply is formatted poorly in the apple mail app. But when i reply from the desktop outlook app on my computer, the reply is formatted perfectly fine. Which makes me think it is an outlook mobile app email formatting issue.
Actually, back to thinking it's a Shopify form submission email formatting issue. I've noticed all replies on the same thread with the Shopify contact form sent from the outlook mobile app continue to be jumbled. But if I create a new email sent from the outlook mobile app and open in mobile Apple mail app on iPhone, it looks perfectly fine. So something is getting wonky with the formatting on Shopify's form submission emails. Hope they take responsibility and sort out this issue soon!
Guess I'll be the next to report it then!
Ahhh that's so frustrating. Especially since this has been brought to Shopify's attention at least since 2022!
