Different colours for HTML and plain text emails

I see that you can set up different profiles for the viewer on a per character set basis, but is there any way to have a profile for just HTML mail?

The reason I ask is that I would like HTML mail to default to a white background with black text, but text mail to be black background with white text. I actually prefer the latter but a lot of HTML mail is badly formatted and is not readable with the default text colour set to white.

An additional note. This is possible to do in Thunderbird with a bit of hacking, but I thought I might share it because it would be of use to the RIT Labs guys.

The problem in Thunderbird is similar to the one in The Bat - badly formatted HTML mails which assume black text on a white background to display properly. The trick is to use custom CSS to set the HTML body background to black, but table and DIV backgrounds to white. That way simple HTML emails display with white on black, but anything fancy which uses a table or DIV for layout works too.

While the new HTML engine is nice, maybe the devs should consider a move to something like WebKit. It's standards compliant, open source and well supported. It also supports advanced stuff like CSS, it's very fast and you can completely remove Javascript etc.

there were no plans to change anything like this in 4.1, so You can not expect, there will be anything changed during weeks...

There is one solution using regexps for changing text and styles in RTV viewer, I will try to test this.

The simplest solution would be to have a special profile just for HTML mail.
