No matter which theme I use, the colors of the reply text make it almost unreadable
I have tried all the solutions posted here and on other sites to no avail. No matter which colors I use in the settings menu, Thunderbird always displays a reply message in dark grey text on a darker grey background. I have tried the system theme, the light theme, several dark themes but the result is always the same. If a hit reply to a message (which is usually HTML) the reply window shows dark grey text on a darker grey background. Has anyone found a solution to this ?
Thanks

Finally found something that helped.
But it's strange that I selected white text on a black background but replies show in blue text on a white background. I found it here:

What do you have for Settings/General/Language & Appearance, Colours (see picture)? You might have to change the override setting, and the OS colour settings could be interfering.
