I think Sören was being sarcastic :-) I tried it too (after changing the
colour) but it causes a problem (24 hour old build, W2K, Modern theme)
in that when you select a message, then select another, the first
message still shows in the selected colours until you scroll up/down.
Anyway, the original poster was suggesting alternating white/grey lines
not just changing the background colour. Hey, maybe we could make the
default to be alternating red and yellow like the "zebra stripes" in
Windiff ;-)
