No subject emails with garble in body of email

I am receiving emails with “No Subject” in the subject line and in the body of the email there is , for the most part, garble or just letters and sometimes a word. It comes from one person and does have links attached to it. I have not opened them up and delete the email. Is this something I should be worried about and would it be coming from my email or the person sending the email?. My girls say it’s a bot email coming from a robot. How would I correct it?

In the last 3 months I also have received emails with garbled letters for the most part and attachments that are garbled at the end of the email. They are from people I know, and only a few emails from them appear this way. Apple Mail and Spark (macOS, iOS, and iPadOS) cannot render them correctly, but Thunderbird can, and they are legit. This could be a problem unrelated to a malevolent sender. I have yet to figure out why some but not all emails from these two senders appear this way, but I suspect it has to do with their Windows email client and the way emails are encoded on their end. It's always a problem with emails to lists of people, by the way -- lists of people who belong to the organizations.

Do these descriptions fit your situation, Stellabarbara?
