The view source window respects neither system colors nor mail colors but always shows white on black.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select any message
2. View source
Actual Results:  
The background is white, the text is black.

Expected Results:  
The content window uses the same colors as "display mail" under tools/options/display/colors.

I have extreme eye sensitivity requiring me to set background colors to black.

Can someone sighted confirm this bug? This is obviously a problem for visually impaired people who might need different contrasts or inverted colors to be able to read the text.
