I use Dark Mode in online outlook. Recently, when I reply to emails the text is being set to White instead of Automatic. This makes my emails appear blank to those not using dark mode. When I try to fix or recolor the text, it gets sent through as white text highlighted black.
These are all very recent problems, please fix these issues so that when I type an email or reply, the text is always set to automatic and will change to white on someone's screen using dark mode and black to someone's screen using regular mode. I should not have to check each email and reply to be sure my audience can read it.

Reading on mobile no issues, only issues on web outlook. Sending email from mobile or webmail appears to be normal to read for others. When typing a new mail it appears correct white text on dark background, but when checking the sent folder it is all messed up.
Seemingly worse from internal emails than external emails.

2023-11-03T15:45:50+00:00 Yup, same. Issue started 11/02/2023 --- black text in dark mode when replying to email or reviewing email from another user.
It's incredibly difficult to read the messages.
