I did not set a background colour in my emails so Evolution must be doing that. I am an IT Support business with mostly private customers and I use HTML so that I can display my logo beneath my name so that customers know it's me not someone scamming them (this has occurred in the past where my clients have received emails purportedly from me sending them invoices), it didn't work because the scammer did not use my logo and format the email the same so the client knew it wasn't me. I will stick to plain text here.
