Information in this document applies to any platform.
Recently we started using Office 360 and started seeing problems in emails being bounced back by destination email servers as they could not process some special characters in the email message. It happened with multiple email domains including the popular domains like Yahoo.com

Example Error Message in Undelivered email:
================================
Your message to test@test.com couldn't be delivered.

Your message contains invalid characters (bare line feed characters) which the email servers at test.com don't support.
