In the "good old days" using Outlook Express on my Windows XP machine I could create outgoing emails with a very light blue cloud background with navy blue print by default. Although I can use dark blue text and a light blue background in Thunderbird the blue is not nearly light enough nor does it look like blue clouds. Is there an add-on available to change outgoing mail to look like I would like it to?

If you know the HTML code for the color you want, enter it in the Write window under Format/Page Colors and Background using custom colors, or use a Background Image. Save the message as a template for future use.
