Steps to reproduce:
Have Thunderbird in Dark Mode.
Receive a message from anybody that has colored their message text.
Open the editor with the reply button.
Actual results:
The result is that the message shows a dark background color, and given that colors of the text of the original message are normally dark also, I cannot see the message I am replying to, so I am forced to go to Format->Change colors and background and set there EVERYTIME the option Use Custom Colors.
Expected results:
Any of those things should happen:
a) Some kind of textcolor/backgroundcolor comparison so when both are dark and one of them is defaulted (so, not set), the shown color is set for the user to be able to read it.
So, if my customer sends me a message with dark blue text, replying it should set the email editor background to white directly as dark blue is too similar to dark grey used by dark mode.
In this case, it is not necessary for the message to be sent with that white selection set, as it is only a visualization trick on the editor side.
b) If you don't want to make this "intelligent" choice... at least, let users choose somewhere that Custom colors are the default. This way the replied message always contain custom colors but it also always look good.
