Description Francesco Centore 2005-12-01 13:24:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

I read e-mail from a collegue of mine..He writes e-mail with a color background, that I, within kmail, never see.

This is an example:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<body text="#000099" bgcolor="#CCFFFF" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B" alink="#FF0000">
<font face="Tahoma">....</font><font face="Tahoma"></font>
<p><font face="Tahoma">.....</font><font face="Tahoma"></font>
<p><font face="Tahoma">.....</font><font face="Tahoma"></font>
<p><font face="Tahoma">..</font>
<br><tt>--</tt>

I see the Tahoma font, but the background of my e-mail is white.

It's intentional. The background colour of emails in KMail is set by the program depending on the encryption/signature state (white = none; red = invalid signature; yellow = valid unknown signature; green = valid known signature; blue = encrypted).
