User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Firefox/1.0.4 (Dropline GNOME)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Firefox/1.0.4

On http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel default bacground is black with
white text but upon change of the bacground to white and text to black the
hyperlinks or text on webpage is no longer rendered or seen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel
2. scroll down and hit Configure
3. select lists.kde.org (black on white) theme
4. hit Go to the Lists link

Actual Results:  
The black text is not visible on the hyperlinks etc...only the bold text is seen

Expected Results:  
Firefox 1.0.4 should have rendered the page correctly.

This behaviour does not happen on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3 version. Firefox is used
on Slackware 10.1 with GNOME 2.10.1 and was built with GTK+2/XFT support.
I see this also with

Confirmed using Suite Trunk Nightly 2005052805 on Windows XP.
From the (white) page:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#ffffff" vlink="#800080">

The color of links (and of the backgrownd) is specified as "#ffffff" - i.e.
white. So the browser is just doing what it's told.
Verified that it looks like this in Safari as well.
Yep.  Just as server bug -- it claims to update the link color to #0000C0 but
actually doesn't.
