Steps to reproduce:

I use a dark theme, but want black(ish) text on white(ish) background content windows.

I can set these content colours for reading in General/Language & Appearance/Colours

However, the Composition window is a problem.
If I set "Use reader's default colours" I get a dark background (which is not what I have set for the deader).
If I unset this, and set the colours I do want then this gets added to the <body> tag in the sent message and so all of my recipients are forced to see the message using my choices - not there's.

Actual results:

When I configure Thunderbird to be visually relaxing for me then all message I send force this setting onto all of my recipients. This is not good!

The cause is a setting in editorContent.css line 100

@media: (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {color: #f9f9fa; background-color: #2a2a2e; }

Expected results:

There should be a way to set default display text and background colours in TB Composition windows such that these are not transmitted to all of my recipients.
