## Special characters

SMTP mail servers can sometimes use arcane encodings for special characters (quoted-printable format for instance). MailSlurp attempts to decode these entities but cannot always do so.

When testing with MailSlurp it helps to view the message bodies in the dashboard or by logging the results. This way you can ensure that expected characters are present in unencoded or decoded form and write code accordingly.

See [quoted-printable article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable) for more information.

## Validations

MailSlurp performs validations on emails so you can check their validity. These include spam anaylsis and HTML validation.

### Spam ratings

MailSlurp analyzes emails to estimate spam detection likelihood and virus verdicts. It also validates SMTP headers for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validity.
