Dark mode text coloring issues

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.

    Same problem. Appears to only affect emails sent by other online Outlook emails from within the organization. Emails sent from outside the organization, or by iOS/Android app, are not affected. Verified with test emails from all three sources.

    I am experiencing the same problem as others who have replied today (Nov. 3rd). When I draft my email, the text shows as white in dark mode. Once I send it, it shows as black text regardless if dark mode is on or not. Even when I check my own emails earlier in the thread from previous days, the text which originally was white in dark mode before is now showing as black. The text in other people's emails before today was white and now any new email replies I get are black in dark mode (and normal in light mode). I hope this issue is fixed soon. I am glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this.

    Having the same issues as everyone here. I have temporarily switched back to light mode for the time being, but I'm hoping MS can address this quickly, as light mode causes severe eye strain for me :(
