Mail app email fonts appear random on recipients' devices

What an absolute joke the Apple Email app is.


Fonts are totally random when the email appears on someone else's device and look like a child has written it . It's embarrassing.


No fix whatsoever from Apple in years.


Will probably switch to another app.

The email font used on a recipient's device is under the control of the recipient. You can send an email using whatever font you want to use but when I receive your email it will be displayed using the font I configured my email to display. You can switch to another app if you want to but the font display will remain under the recipient's control.
