Couldn't find this specific issue being reported in the forum, but I wanted to share that the newsletter emails are pretty much unreadable when you browse your emails in dark mode.

There's the gray on light blue at the top.

Then all the individual article links are a light blue with a white underline, and that's very hard to read.

And overall the font is fairly small.

I don't have a convenient way to share screenshots, but I am using Yahoo Mail on Edge on PC, and Gmail app on Android.

Android has a "View email in light mode", which helps. But there's no equivalent for Yahoo when just viewing in a browser. Generally speaking if I got to jump through extra steps to read an email, I am most likely just going to delete it instead of engaging.

Thank you so much for raising my awareness of this issue. Over the past couple of months, our newsletter editor has undergone some changes out of my control so I have been playing whack-a-mole to deal with them. Now that the dust has settled, I set my Android phone's Gmail app to dark mode in order to troubleshoot. I'm able to see the light-blue-on-black headlines, so I hope this problem has resolved for you, too.

It's a little better, but I still find the text too small, and the white underline under the links make it hard to read.

EDIT:
Compare against another newsletter I get. Bigger font, links are blue, but underline.
