Folks,

Is anyone else having the problem that text on emails is being rendered in a color which is almost impossible to read on the background of the mail glances?

I believe this is due to the default 'reply font' of mail messages in Outlook 2010 and 2013, which is a mid-blue, but of course in Outlook it is rendered on a white background, so is perfectly readable.

I appreciate this isn't Apple's fault directly, but they have done some work in this area, because text that appears black in emails in Outlook is rendered white on the watch. Looks like they need to do a bit more work on the color substitution algorithm.
