I’m using a dark theme, with dark background / light foreground colors chosen for mail:
I prefer this because dark on light messages in a light on dark theme are more than a little jarring. However, some messages contain text that still renders dark, for example:
I want to read HTML, not plaintext so that’s not an option. Is there a way to force all text to render per the preferred colors? Something I’ve overlooked?
We have an option to switch an individual email body back to light theme so you can read troublesome messages that don’t display well in the Dark Theme. You will find it next to the time in the message preview.
You will need to change the preferred settings in your screenshot back to use colour from theme in order to do that though. Or because it is the colours you have chosen to override the theme, that are too similar, just using that setting back to theme colours it may appear OK without switching to light theme.
Setting it back to Use Color from Theme appears to solve it. That’s kinda strange since the reason I went to hard-coded colors (so to speak) is that messages were appearing black on white unless it was forced. Maybe it was a different theme (what I’m using now is a theme I duplicated and modified). I don’t recall, but now it appears to be working as desired.
