Hi everybody,

I prefer to use plain text mode so I've configured account to always use plain text (for new and when replying). Issue I have is when replying on a mail, quoted text is shown in blue, and that bothers me a lot (it hurts my eyes). Text I add in reply is shown normally in black, I would like whole text to be displayed in black (both quoted and added), can anyone help me how to change that?

P.S. I've tried to attach image but it failed, here is a link to it: https://postimg.org/image/h8c4qulun/

Thanks, Igor

Have a look at Tools|Options|Display|Formatting→Plain Text Settings

Does this set the blue colour on your quoted text?

Thanks for help. no, quote text color is set to black there: https://postimg.org/image/pe7n3t4sn/

Also I've tried every possible combination of options (and colors) there, and in colors section: https://postimg.org/image/6n5ptna87/. I've also restarted thunderbird between changes but without any luck, quoted text is always blue.

Just to clarify blue quoted text is shown in compose window when replying to mail, it's normal (black) when writing new mail. And it's also normal (black) when viewing mails (with quoted text).

I'm using 45.5.1 portable version (but it was same with standalone).

quoted text color is not part of the email, it is something Thunderbird displays, not sends.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&printable=yes

you will need the following in a userchrome.css file.

span[_moz_quote=true] {
color: pink ! important;
}

Note the color specified here is pink.

Additional colors can be picked on this page. http://www.quackit.com/css/css_color_codes.cfm

Thanks for the hint, unfortuntelly it didn't work. I've created userChrome.css and was able to change other styles (font size, background of messages...) but not quoted text color. I've did make sure that css is formed as expteded, I even copied default thunderbird css and changed color in it. If it matters I'm using portable edition and win 10 64bit.

Thanks, Igor

I've found a solution, right file to create is userContent.css. Seems that userChrome.css is for general window customization and userContent is for editor changes.
