*so, one more time*, for _all_ text to be *white* on a *black* background:

  msgcompose.background_color             #000000

see the commonality of above?

after making above changes, close about:config window, close preferences
window, close thunderbird window. sing 5 verses of "happy birthday bob".

open thunderbird, open an email, should be _all_white_text_ on
_all_black_background_. press <ctrl+r>, compose window should be
_all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_.

if not, open about:config to see what settings have changed and reset
them to above. after making above changes, close about:config window,
close preferences window, select;

   Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

accept prompts to close thunderbird window. sing 5 verses of "happy
birthday bob".

open thunderbird, open an email, should be _all_white_text_ on
_all_black_background_. press <ctrl+r>, compose window should be
_all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_.

if not, you have something very, very wrong and you need to try a
different desktop environment.
George -

There's probably no way to convince you that I have done all this correctly but after going through these settings again very carefully [backgrounds #000000, all others #ffffff] this morning in both Thunderbird and Seamonkey the result is still dark blue quoted link names in Thunderbird and black on black quoted link names in Seamonkey. I can always tap CTRL+A and read everything ...

It seems I can't have white text on black without suffering incovenience, something that it seems [to me] should be just one item to toggle instead of the mess it is now. I can't believe that I am the only one who finds white on black preferable.

Thanks for the help but let's drop it here,

Bob
