Description Bastien Nocera 2005-10-04 21:58:59 UTC 
I couldn't read the headers in this promotional e-mail from my local computer
dealer. It shows as black on black in evolution, and white on black in Mozilla.
I don't know whether this is still a problem with 3.8.x.

gtkhtml3-3.6.2-1

The mail uses css formatting, i.e.
.style5 {
	font-family: Tahoma;
	font-size: 9px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-weight: bold;
}
since gtkhtml does not parse css yet, it defaults to displaying in black instead
of white, as intended.
Thanks for reporting the issue, though. maybe, css would be a good idea to support.

i don't know if this is a dup or a dep of bug 247564, marking as dep.

i dislike html mixing old html style formatting (like the background color) with
new css style (like the font color), but of course it's the sender's mailer
doing this. :-/

WONTFIXing as bug 247564 is a WONTFIX too.
Plan is to use WebKit for 3.4 or 3.6 and deprecate GtkHtml.
