blake ?

[Jim Porter (:squib)]

If I understand what this is meant to do (set the foreground/background colors of quoted text), I don't think it's something we can take, as it would cause accessibility problems for people on high-contrast themes. In general, colors need to be derived from the theme (or configurable in the options) in order to prevent these problems.

So why not putting a checkbox in the preference dialog window to disable it, with a text like: "Coloured quoted text, uncheck if vision difficulties"
