OS:                Linux

When I mark a subject of a Mail in order to copy it, it is hardly visible that I have marked it. I could only determine that it was marked by STRG-C, but then noticed I had missed a letter. I am sure KMail1 used a different colour to determine the marked part from the rest.

Reproducible: Always

Not quite sure where to put this, but using a different color to mark marked text depending on the background color is not a kmail issue.

(The issue is that the default background color of kmails header field is close to that if the default marked text color however they are different shades of blue so it is possible to see what is marked, yet hard)

actually I believe the problem is a kmail problem. I have attached 2 screenshots to show how it looks in old Kmail (running KDE 4.71 in natty) and new Kmail2 (running KDE 4.7.1 in oneric). The KDE settings profile is the same, so it must have something to do with how new kmail handles it.
