I don’t have a strong opinion about an email client in a browser but email clients already contain a web browser. This is due to practically all email being formatted in HTML. You could argue this is a giant mistake and you wouldn’t be wrong.

Not all email clients. Not even all modern email clients. Certainly not the email client I use.

    No to put words in their mouth, but I suspect they were saying they use a text email client. If so, fair enough, but most people don’t. Most people actually use their phone or webmail in a browser tab, but that’s neither here nor there.
