First off and a heads up, I am very green with Power Automate. I hope this is okay and to avoid a bunch of screen shots, I provided the link below from a blog by Robin Hobo a Technology Specialist Cloud Endpoint working for Microsoft that shows a Power Automate Flow he developed for spam messages. I made a flow that pretty much mimics his. This Power Automate flow works great as long as the input is plain text, “I think”. A problem arises when I think the inputs start to have UTF strings in them which probably spammers are doing on purpose. Below is the error message that occurs in the BlackListLoop “condition”. e.g. toLower(triggerOutputs()?['body/From'])
I threw in some latest examples of the email Subject and From fields I think the flow chokes on. I need some way to easily purge/convert/replace this stuff out of the email Subject, Body, From or Reply-To if that is truly the problem. The error message doesn’t really help much.

How to Fix Recommendation on the right (This never works)
If this error was temporary, you can try resubmitting the run and the issue may have been resolved.
Examples of email subject and from fields
From: =?UTF-8?Q?Best__S?= =?UTF-8?Q?ecurity?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Camer?= =?UTF-8?Q?a__?= <info at roman dot kalenda dot shop>
Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?3__Re?= =?UTF-8?Q?asons?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Eve?= =?UTF-8?Q?ryone?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Nee?= =?UTF-8?Q?ds__a?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Lig?= =?UTF-8?Q?ht__S?= =?UTF-8?Q?ocket?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Sec?= =?UTF-8?Q?urity?= =?UTF-8?Q?__Cam?= =?UTF-8?Q?era__?=
Let me know if I can provide anything else that would help diagnose this issue and whether or not the UTF-8 stuff above is causing this flow to break.
Thanks in advance.
