At the moment, I am too lazy to update it, in part because Seth Spitzer deliberately removed the central tool |mimetest|, which shows the actual HTML message output structure. >> And does it come with some default that would work for most people? > Well, it's a *user*Content.css - the point is that you can do whatever you imagine, only limited by the (rich) HTML structure that libmime outputs for messages and by the capabilities of CSS. The problem boils down to the lack of documentation (i.e. my badly maintained webpage). Patches (or new text) for the webpage is welcome :-). On a related note, I noticed that the coloring of the sig is broken, too. No idea, what's the reason again. We need some automated regression tests for that code. > I tried Ben's suggestions in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, but it > only colors the vertical quote bars, and since I disable those it does > not have any effect at all. My fault. The example in the bug was very outdated. I figured out some rules that work for me. Cited below. > IMHO, having different colors for quoting levels is a killer feature. me too :). Add the following to your userContent.css: blockquote[type=cite] { border-color: black ! important; color: red ! important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote { border-color: red ! important; color: green ! important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote { border-color: green ! important; color: blue ! important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote { border-color: blue ! important; color: gray ! important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote { border-color: gray ! important; } blockquote[type=cite] pre, blockquote[type=cite] div { color: inherit ! important; } The last rule is critical and the reason why it didn't work for you. Note that this is not limited to plaintext messages and will even work in the HTML composer. If you want, you can limit the rules to normal plaintext / format=flowed msgs by adding div.moz-text-plain or div.moz-text-flowed respectively at the beginning of each selector. Ben
