I cannot change the color of the font of any text that I have pasted in an email from a webpage or any text written after the pasted text that has inherited its color. I can change the format and the style but not the colour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start writing an email using your selected default font (mine is Body Text, Arial, Small)
2. Paste some colored text from the Mozilla browser.
3. Write a line of two after the pasted text (which inherits the formatting of the pasted text)
4. Highlight all and reformat the Style and font. That should work.
5. Highlight all and change color to black. That doesn't work.
Actual Results:  
Font color fails to change.

Expected Results:  
Font color should change.

> 4. Highlight all 

Meaning what?  Edit | Select All?  Drag mouse over the entire message body?  Drag mouse over the colored text?


> and reformat the Style and font. 

Meaning what?  Exactly which edit actions are you taking to "reformat"?

I have no problems changing the color of the pasted-in text, nor with changing the color of the typed-in text that uses the style/color of the pasted text.

Five months later and all you can do is respond with such an aggressive tone - forget about it.
