You need an OCR tool.
Or a new job with a boss that's not a wanker.
Or an iPhone with access to the email. Probably a feature on Android too, idk, I’ve been away from modern Android for ~3 years.
Lots of times I’ve realized it’s easier just to take a screenshot (or even a photo of someone else’s phone…did that tonight when my wife was getting a weird error in Netflix) and then copy the text (or just go right to search from the selection).
Google Lens can do OCR since a few years ago I believe
I know everyone complains about Microsoft AI but you can just screenshot text and have it tell you what the text says.
