Do such email programs exist?
I don't know. I'd be surprised if the various ways of getting an image
taken on one 'phone to appear on another 'phone don't know about
orientation tags, but being such an old fossil that my 'phone spends
most of its time turned off, I rather suspect they use something other
than the quaint thing we know as "email" for transferring such images.
I don't think
most software even turns them.
Possibly not email software. I think I've seen a control in IrfanView
for whether it should heed orientation tags or not - hang on, I'll look:
hmm, not sure I understand it, but there _are_ several references in the
Help.
This is yet
another harebrained idea to save iPhone users
from having to understand what they're doing.
To be fair, I think several standalone cameras have
orientation-detection hardware too, and I'd be surprised if they don't
just record a flag rather than storing the pixels in a different order.
Any JPG that requires software to check the
orientation EXIF tags is a faulty image.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying the if you acknowledge the
_existence_ of the orientation tag (I didn't know it was part of EXIF
but that makes sense), then what would you consider its function?
But it doesn't hurt to send a non-confrontational
email to the sender, suggesting they could deal with
orientation when they take the photo.
Good luck with that (-:. (I don't mean re confrontation, I just mean
most people taking pictures these days - with means 'phone users -
wouldn't have a clue what you were on about.)

It's quickly getting to a place where privacy will be cause for suspicion.
