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

> Not even all modern email clients

I think a slightly more accurate statement is that all modern email clients contain an html renderer, which is _not_ the same as a browser.

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.
