User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040220 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.1 (20040626) There is no way to set the default for the composer window to have Format> Page Colors and Background...> Page Colors> Reader's default colors, set as default. It always defaults to "Use custom colors". This may be related to the fix for bug 236498. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools> Options> Composition> HTML Options... Actual Results: "Defaults for HTML Messages" lets you set Text and Background colors. Expected Results: Defaults for HTML Messages" should let you specify "Reader's default colors".
Workaround: in prefs.js, find the following preferences and change the values to empty strings, as shown: user_pref("msgcompose.background_color", ""); user_pref("msgcompose.text_color", ""); This will generate mail with <body bgcolor="" text=""> but the recipient's colors will be respected. Seamonkey bug 206219 is an RFE for a UI for this feature.
