Ah, thanks! It seems everything html has a glaring white background, while I have the text message background color set as grey, so maybe it's being overridden, or 4.2 is different. Here (in 4.0.38), I have white text on a black background. Many HTML messages over-ride one or both of these defaults but I only look at the HTML if the plaintext version doesn't show me the message. -- Best regards MFPA Dogs look up to us.

The help file says it's in edit colour group but here that only gives options for text colour, background colour and font style (bold/italic/underlined/strikeout). I suspect there is a GUI option somewhere; editing the COLORS.INI file in my mail folder is the only way I've found. Got the font for the folder tree and the editor.

Yes, it's the same setting as for the background setting of plaintext messages. At one time you could choose a different set of options for the rich text viewer but, alas, no longer.
