--- Comment #17 from PK <pieterkristen...@gmail.com> --- I too can't understand why this happened. To me it is a strange choice. In my eyes there are a few (not much anymore) items to fix in kmail and this is NOT one of them. But still, you come a long end with the workaround from commend 5 that Christian Adams made: "I have found a partial workaround – namely changing the background color of the HTML Status Bar. This can be done in Settings -> Configure KMail -> Appearance -> Colors. I have used "#fcfcfc" for all four "HTML Status Bar" entries." You can make this ugly black disappear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
