What is your kmail version ? you assign it to 5.7.3 ! it's too old and I fixed a lot of bug in new version.
did you change settings: kmail->configure->color -> "do not change color from original html" ?
as i said in my comment 2 i updated to Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.12.1 soory i forgot kontact 5.10.2
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #5) > did you change settings: kmail->configure->color -> "do not change color > from original html" ? if i do that then it is readable but it is full white. this is not what we want. we want a dark theme readable for message contents.
So you can't :) We can't change dynamically the color from the original mail which forces color.
i suggest to kde team to supply the ability to use user FF. because i use the extent "dark reader". less work for kde team to use FF. With FF we get all security features of FF and more.
FF ?? Firefox ?
yes
So you mean thunderbird. So if you think that thunderbird is better why you continue to use kmail ? You are free to move to thunderbird :) I will not cry for sure :) If you think that it's critical for you, use it. but please close your bug before to switching ! thanks
kde apps 20.12.1 kde plasma 5.20.5 kde frameworks 5.78.0 qt 5.15.2 problem still there
I did not well explain. Kmail uses an html engine to display html mail. Why not an option to use Firefox to display the html mails because FF with darkreader can display html page with dark them ? Or add an external module as darkreader to display html mail with dark them
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #8) > So you can't :) > We can't change dynamically the color from the original mail which forces > color. I should like to add that other email clients, such as macOS' Mail appear to remove background:white styles from the original email so as to make them compatible with the client's native background.
I can add that using k9-mail using dark them there is no problem with same mail.
