Ahmed,

Felix is right.

Text color is #2E3436
See bootstrap.css at line 187:
body {
   margin: 0;
   font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, 
sans-serif;
   font-size: 14px;
   line-height: 1.6em;
   color: #2e3436;
   background-color: #ffffff;
}

while div.well uses

div.well {
background-color: whitesmoke;
/* which is background-color: #f5f5f5; at line 2953 of bootstrap.css */
}

So you have light gray on almost-but-not-entirely-white kind of 
background color.

Ahmed, can you add at line 14:

body {font-size: 100%; color: black;}

This will undeniably improve accessibility and readability of the page.

Konqueror (with KHTML rendering engine) is no longer being maintained.

Well, then, that (Mailman can be modified) is good news.
