Hello, some days ago, in Thunderbird, the e mails I receive and/or write switched suddenly to being displayed in red. I didn't do anything I could remember of. How can I retrieve the black display ? I've got old eyes and feel red display very unconfortable. Thank you in advance. Sorry for my poor English ! Regards Pierre
