866523 - Original Message Color Not Used / Changed when quoted for replies

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Buford T. Justice]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130116073211

Steps to reproduce:

If a sender sends me a message and uses blue as the color of their text and I hit reply, the blue is changed to black or whatever I have set in OPTIONS>COMPOSITION>GENERAL in HTML.

The sender can use red or green or any other color and the same thing happens; it is changed to black.

There needs to be an option to not change the original message's color or font.


Actual results:

The blue color is changed to black.


Expected results:

The quoted part of the message should have remained in the color the sender used.

Strangely, both Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail keep the original message's font and color unless they are set to override it.
