Skype Sends me E-Mails in Chinese


Question

Does anybody else get e-mails from Skype written in Chinese?  I'm using a computer where the primary language is English, I have my location in my profile on skype.com set to the United States, and the e-mails appear to be legitimate e-mails.  When I "View All Message Headers", as I've done in the past to see if somebody spoofed the "From" address, it shows that the e-mail originated from the skype e-mail address when it was sent.  All of this being true, it's strange that my skype e-mails arrive in Chinese.

 

Here's a PDF of the latest one.

Here's the e-mail headers:

Found a topic about it on their forum, which had an official reply forwarding people to the "Contact Customer Support" page, chatting with somebody on "liveperson.net" right now.

    • Can confirm, I've built stuff for others and no complaints using their products.
    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.
