no colors in dark mode in TB140?

Hi 🙂

When I enable dark mode (white text on black background) in Thunderbird 140, the text is displayed as white even if the sender chose to display some text in color. (Links are displayed as expected, though).

This doesn't happen in light mode where the colors are displayed as expected in the emails I receive.

In dark mode, if I reply to an email that has some text that should be displayed in colors, the reply window displays the text as expected (white text on black background with colored text wherever the sender chose to edit the color of the text).

Is there any way to fix this? maybe a setting I have wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best,

-a-
