User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Windows colour scheme to "High Contrast Black" (Win+I > Ease of Access > High Contrast > Choose a scheme > "High Contrast Black").
2. Open TB Daily
3. Open an email.

Actual results:

On previous days, the background in an email was always black and the text white, which provided the highest possible contrast.

Today, the email opened with a dark blue or purple background, which significantly reduced the contrast of the email's text. Please revert to having a black background.

The links were a lighter shade of blue rather than the higher-contrast colour I had previously chosen. The link colour should have much more contrast, shuch as yellow or green. Please revert to previous settings.

Nice work on the new colour settings page in Tools -> Options. I wasn't aware this had been updated. I was able to change my background to black without any difficulties and was able to change the link preferences to what I had selected before.

Good work!

Comment 1 sounds like it's resolved. I'll close this bug. If it's not resolved, reopen it with more context like screenshots etc.
