(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[justin hugh daly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.8+ (20041101)

when viewing a plain text message with a non default window background (say, for
example, using the "plum" theme), the message pane background color stays white.
this is inconsistent with the rest of the interface, where the folder list, and
message list are the correct system background color.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
view a plain text message when the system window background color is non-white
Actual Results:  
the message has a white background

Expected Results:  
the message should have the system defined window background color

In your prefs.js file, you need a line reading:
  user_pref("browser.display.use_system_colors", true);

(Check to be sure there isn't one already setting it 'false'.)
