            Bug ID: 449239
           Summary: kmail treats background color of plaintext emails as
                    html mail background
           Product: kontact
           Version: 5.19.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. configure kmails color settings as follows:
[x] Eigene farben benutzen  (use own colors)
[X] Farbe der ursprünglichen HTML mail nicht ändern (don't change colors in
html mails)

2. open a plaintext email

OBSERVED RESULT
The text is colord according to the customized colors but the background of a
PLAINTEXT email is switched to white, making the whole mess unreadable in my
case.

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect kmail to change all colors, including the background, if the
mail is plaintext only.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220125
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.16.1-1-default (64-bit)

Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The problem here is using a Plasma-wide dark color scheme - you HAVE to have
kmail adjust the colors, or mails will be unreadable. but there seems to be no
working combination of these two options that works equally well with
plaintext- and html emails.
