I thought this message was lost in the "questions" gallery!
(And by the way: I never received this automated email notification!!)
I tried to follow yor recommendation and I set color and
backround color for the td.message_body and p.message_body,
but there is no improvement...
Does it collide with this declaration:
DIV,BODY,TD,TH,TR,TABLE,INPUT,LI,UL,FORM,
BLOCKQUOTE,P,B,I,H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6,FONT {
font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
color : #C0C0C0;
background : #151511;
}
I have two or three books about CSS, I must admit I never saw such
irregular definition of things, it is almost impossible to find a precise
specification! For example, I am not not sure what is p.message_body?
