Hi, This is an issue with using a reverse colour scheme and HTML in Windows. There are a few options: 1. Ensure that Outlook Express/Windows Mail always sends in plain text, even if replying to an HTML message. 2. Get a package such as Lunar to do the colour switching for you, so that you don't run into other colour scheme problems (such as Jaws not behaving well). Lunar can have no magnification, and be configured for only colour changing. It is very good in this respect, and means you can leave the Windows colour schemes at default. Thanks. Andrew.

I seem to be getting listers on other mailing listing telling me that my e-mails are black text on black. I did go in to the settings and changed one of the font to white but I don't know if this has made any difference. There is an tick box in the colour section I don't know weather to tick it or not. I am using windows mail. I do have the same problem in Outlook Express on my XP laptop.
