Fully supports system-ui (8): Gmail, Gmail iOS, Outlook 365, Outlook iOS, Apple Mail, Apple Mail iOS, Yahoo Mail, HEY Mail.
Partial support (4): Gmail Android, Outlook Android, Samsung Mail, Thunderbird. Expect rendering quirks unique to each engine — partial support typically means a subset of values, an ignored shorthand, or sanitizer-specific rewrites.
No support (2): Outlook (New), Outlook Classic. Plan fallbacks for these clients before relying on system-ui in production sends.
Behaviour unverified in: Superhuman.
