Thanks Kiran, that's true!
Links inserted by user during composition are also affected.

This does not reproduce for me.

Attached a new image - where the existing links in an email (unvisited links, and visited links) are not clearly legible, because of the default link colours in a dark theme.

This setting doesn't take any effect work for some years.
Even with TB 138 this is (again?) a major issue. It's just dark blue on a dark gray background. This is just inreadable. And setting colors in the settings requires them to always be applied, completely overwriting the otherwise good
hi,
Thunderbird 128.14.0esr (64 bits) here, and I can confirm that the allready visited links in TB's dark mode are dark purple on top of (almost) black and are very difficult to read.
That beeing said, going to settings -> general -> colors (as mentionned earlier) does the trick
It's just that changing the default colors would be great.
