the color setting in the "message display" panel is (as the name suggests) for
how it displays quoted text in messages, NOT how it displays quoted text in your
replies (which would show up under "composition" if the pref existed).

by itself, this is invalid, but I'm going to assume what you really want is to
have the pref added...

dupe of "quoted text color is hard-coded, conflicts with dark color schemes"
