Unfortunate color combination in notification emails

[+deepo]

When I receive a notification email about geocachers contacting me, and I reply to this email, then the color is (almost) white on white, even though the received email is black on white.

The received email is base64 encoded html, which has CSS for the background of the body set to white, without setting a font color. Maybe that's where the problem arises?

 

In the attached image I have written two lines with "This is a test" where I have marked the second line so you can see that I wrote something.

The first line disappears because it's white on white.

Mine are black on white for both. 

Just an observation but that looks like a notification for someone who found a cache not for someone contacting you.

Same here, black on white. This with Outlook (ancient version) on Win10, and the same if I try to answer a found notification. I think it is safe to say this is an effect of your email client or settings.
