This is a problem with HTML email, which has been a terrible idea since the day it was created. Some people who can afford it automatically bounce HTML email on the server and notify the sender to use a more sane format; I cannot afford to, unfortunately. What I can do is configure my email client to extract text from HTML and remove everything else, and it works fine with rare exceptions. The worst offender is PayPal, who used to send easy to read plaintext mail about a decade ago, but then switch to an HTML mess that is unreadable in either form.

Good luck with that. So many have tried, none have prevailed.
