            Bug ID: 360853
           Summary: Hardcoded white background color in default theme of
                    messageviewer
           Product: kdepim
           Version: GIT (master)
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: messageviewer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at mva.name

I think, hardcoding white background color for message viewer is a bad idea,
because it produces bad behavior on dark themes:

1) results in ugly look (because font colors are taken from user's settings,
and so light font color, light action icons and so on renders on white
backgound).

2) very contrasts with another interface colorscheme and very hurt eyes at
night.

3) don't brake html emails (I talked with Laurent Montel about that issue via
email, and he said that removing line with hardcoded white bg from theme css
(to use system background) breaks html emails, but I've tested it with many
HTML emails (even highly formatted, with menus and so on) and neither of them
was broken. They just using my system define bg color and default font color
(if not redefined, as for menus).

So, I want to discuss that here (and give people with dark themes, like me) the
place to say if they like or dislike forced white bg.

Reproducible: Always
