Sentry Crash Report:

Description Damir Perisa 2005-11-08 21:01:20 UTC 
Version:           1.8.3 (using KDE 3.4.3, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-rc5-mm1-ARCH

reproduce:

1) set custom colours in appearance (especially fields "normal text" and the 3 levels of "quoted text") to something different than kde global set

2) apply it

3) observe all kmail is now in your custom colours

4) go to settings and disable the custom colours again (remove the cross in "Use custom colours")

5) apply it

6) observe all kmail in standard colour again ... except in the composer the normal + quoted text, that appears still in customised colours.

6 - expected) also the composer should use default colours

note: this bug is a little bit tricky to see at the beginning ... use really different colours to see it better.

Same here with 1.10.3 - Even though $KDEHOME/share/apps/kmailrc has defaultColors=true, the composer's colour settings are being overridden by the (disabled) custom color settings. Easy to reproduce with the following kmailrc fragment, for the [Reader] config group:

QuotedText1=0,0,0
QuotedText2=0,0,0
QuotedText3=0,0,0
defaultColors=true

Sorry, make that $KDEHOME/share/config/kmailrc.

Seems to be fixed in 4.2
