Even then, the recipient's settings may cause it to look different - think of accessibility settings or just personal preferences, and some PDF readers have a "night" view mode. If the message was coded as black-on-black, white-on-white, or any similar obviously-unreadable combination, you may have a point. Spam messages often have portions like this, hiding search keywords or, perhaps, malicious links. Often, the message code stipulates a text colour or a background colour but not both. For 15+ years, my profile layout in TB! has specified black background with a slightly off-white main text colour. It's not unusual to see an email that has over-ridden one colour but not both."Select All" generally makes it readable. But I normally read all messages in plaintext, only switching to the HTML tab if the plaintext version seems to not be the whole message. I also use colour groups to have a mainly black background in the message list and folder list. Screenshot attached. (The yellow in the folder list is the actual account names, the red writing in the folder list is folders with unread messages; unread messages in the message list would be coloured that way as well but there are none in that screenshot.) > I > don't think the software should decide to change the > colours, unless instructed by the user. Setting a colour theme _is_ instructing the software to change the colours. > Note: I do not use themes, and your mail looks here > exactly how you intended it to look (I hope). As this is supposed to be a plaintext mailing list, the mail you receive should display on your screen exactly as _you_ intend it to look. -- Best regards MFPA <mailto:[email protected]> Put knot yore trust inn spel chequers Using The Bat!
