How can I change the background colour of a reply or forwarded message I am composing?

I have received an HTML-formatted message, which arrived with a red background colour. When I reply or forward that message, the message composition window appears with the same red background colour, and with black text. The resulting black text on a red background is hard to read.

How can I change the background colour of the reply or forwarded message which I am composing? How can I override the background colour set by the sender in the original message?

Note that I am asking about the background colour of a message which was set by the sender. I am not asking about how to set the default colour of messages I compose from scratch. Nor am I asking about how to set the background colour of Thunderbird windows or UI elements.

Thank you in advance.

I suggest pressing the shift key when you click 'reply' to switch you to plain text for this one message. I think that may eliminate the color issue.

Wužytny?

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, it eliminates the background colour. Unfortunately, it also eliminates all the HTML formatting of the included message which I am forwarding, or to which I am replying. In some cases this may be fine. In some cases, however, it ruins the included message.

I guess I should clarify my question: How can I change the background colour of my part of the reply or forwarded message which I am composing, without ruining the formatting of the included message? How can I override the background colour set by the sender in the original message, but not discard all HTML formatting?
