Description Sudhir Khanger 2015-12-27 06:43:08 UTC 
A good number of html emails have this button with dark blue font over light blue background which is impossibly hard to see. Can we tweak the theme to make it more visible?

Please see the attachment for a screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

This issue still exists after three years of reporting. Color scheme is not correctly interpreted by kmail.

Can you attach such a mail ? (you may edit it before to remove any personal data)

Hi Christophe,

Here is one such email - https://paste.kde.org/pz70dptol

I confirm it.
We change link color so it will change it too.
I will investigate how we can fix it.

It seems KMail throws in 
```css
a {
   color: #2980b9 ! important; 
}
```
For some reason. 

The easiest fix is to do NOT add additional styling at all unless it's activated in the Identity.
