Hi,
set background=dark doesn't actually set your background to dark, it
just tells vim that you use a dark background, and this way vim knows
that it has to use light colors in the syntax highlighting. Anyway, in
case you already knew this ;-), i would suggest downloading the vim
reference guide from vim.org and start reading at p35, all the
highlighting is described there, including how to change colors. But I
must say that I have no problems with the default mail highlighting
colors (on a dark background).
cheers,
roel
