Stevertigo,
How is it that if the 100s of emails I receive every week on four different accounts, /your/ emails are the only ones to arrive pitch black and unreadable? At this stage I have almost stopped even reading your stuff out of irritation at getting pitch black unreadable messages that I can only read by hitting the reply all button and going through the motions of replying, simply because /then and only then/ can I actually see the text. This is getting utterly annoying. And not a single other email from anyone else I receive, from wiki or elsewhere, causes the same problem.

A good point. Stevertigo, could you not take your own advice and override your settings so all messages appear to you as white on black, and not subject those with certain mail clients to certain problems? I'm using Mozilla, which I believe follows most, if not all standards pretty closely.

I use mozilla...and I only saw one message from him pitch black. IF it is pitch black just select the text (or go to edit and press select all) and that would make it easier to read (Would hope so)

It does help, but that's not the first pitch black message I've gotten.

This sort of thing happens, and Steve is obviously aware of it, So unless you have reason to believe that someone is persistently being an asshole about it let's cut each other some slack and avoid whining about every little thing that goes wrong.
