Header colors example

SUMMARY
KMail recently got a new feature where the colours from HTML post content is honoured and custom user colours are not used for HTML posts. This includes link colours. However in this case the posts link colors are also used for links in post header box (the one with subject, sender...) which I don't like and can also make links there hardly visible if the links in post are by any chance set to a color that is almost the same as the header background.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure that the setting to never change HTML post colors is set
2. Open a HTML post

OBSERVED RESULT
Post link colors are also used in header box

EXPECTED RESULT
Header box always uses the custom user colors for links and text and never adopts colors from HTML post itself.
