windows color woes

[unbibium]

My eyes were bugging me a bit, so I decided to dink around with the color scheme. I wanted to give white-on-black a try, but realized that too many applications would give me invisible text if I tried that. So I settled for white-on-blue. Oh, what a difference! Everything was easier to read, my eyes could relax....

then I got a new message on Outlook, and it was then I realized that, by default, Outlook formats the text you type in replies to blue text. So whenever anyone replied to me, it became invisible.

ARRRRGH!

I looked, and I looked, and I couldn't find an option to disable colors in received messages, nor could I find one to change the default background color of incoming messages to something other than the Windows default.

Chocolate-covered fuck on a stick.

I haven't changed it back yet. Don't wanna. I can select text with the mouse and read it that way, though I know it's only a matter of time before I miss important information because of having to do that.

Furthermore, Ghostzilla looks a lot more conspicuous because its colors never change from pale gray on bright-ass white.

You could get some new eyes, like in that movie ‘Minority Report’.

I was sorta falling asleep at the end, but Tom got his wife back? Right?

In Microsoft Outlook
Go to Tools
Choose Options
Choose Mail Format tab
click Font button
Change where it reads "For replying or forwarding"

That's great for outgoing mail, but I highly doubt I'll get everyone in my address book to do the same.

It's worth a shot. :)
