Email censorship

[MEDITEK22]

Several times I have had emails to my American friends blocked, supposedly because of content. My last three liner contained 'We could do with a Trump here' and that was blocked but went fine with Gmail!  I haven't heard from a couple of them for a while and wondered whether BT/EE was blocking incoming content similarly?

Seems we now live under Communistic rules.

PS If you're too frightened to give a meaningful answer then don't bother.

I've no idea what constitutes a ' meaningful answer' or what you are expecting from a customer to customer self help forum, but as this is a public forum folks can post what they like.

If you want a 'meaningful answer', stick to Gmail.

It could be that if you're sending a file or attachment, BTs mail servers have identified a spam link within it and are probably being a bit overzealous. Stick to Gmail as it's generally the best email option providing you don't mind Google a few adverts..

ISP's used to have to provide an email service but I don't think they do now so they don't really put a lot of effort into their services as it's not a money spinner.

More likely to be something in the HTML it doesn't like.  For example, often if I draft a reply to something on here using Word this forum bulks at something in the background formatting and rejects the post.   Write the same thing in Notepad and its absolutely fine.

Edit: Writing at the same time as NigelB72

Thank for the PS comment. That is the best laugh I have had in ages. The only thing that betters it is the subject of your email. That really made me laugh.

So the perpetrators of this paranoid intrusion remain invisible?

I also asked whether incoming mail received the same treatment? Anyone know?

Thanks for the assistance fellow sufferers.

I received clarification of my problem from support private messaging along with an explanation and the source of the interference.  Seems the subject line 'Hiho' was the culprit as it's often used by crooked email sources! Virtually nothing gets past my spam filters so I can do without this 'help'.
