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.

    It was fine yesterday and now today I am getting black text on black background on Windows 10. Coworker on Windows 11 using dark theme has no issues.

    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.

    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.

    Same here. This is going to be a rough day if this is not fixed.
