On MacOS using the OS dark theme selection, and the Mozilla TB neutral (default) System theme, Thunderbird forces all reply message backgrounds to be black. Emails are sent with black text over black background This can only be corrected by turning off the OS theme. (An app theme is supposed to theme the app, not the content.)

So TB is forcing Mac users to use an OS theme not of their choosing or to send unreadable emails.

  • MacOS Sonoma 14.1
  • Thunderbird 128.2.3esr
  • System theme — auto v1.3 (latest)

Text and Background Settings:

  • Text: [black]
  • Background: [white]

Extensions (all latest versions):

  • No Message Pane Sort
  • quickFilters
  • Restart Button
  • uBlock Origin
  • Xpunge
