A friend of mine writes friendly emails to a group (invitations to parties and such) using Microsoft Outlook (desktop client).For some reason sometimes he uses white fonts on black background, but when I open his messages on Gmail, I get white fonts on white background.Anyone knows the source of the problem and a possible solution? (Besides telling my friend not to do it again, which I did but he just forgets.)
Gmail white fonts on white background

The problem is that Outlook formats HTML messages in a way that Gmail does not completely understand (thus the background missing). Email clients have different support of HTML elements. I know that Gmail supports settings background-image via CSS, but not sure how Outlook sets it. Otherwise the question is too broad to answer without any example emails.
