HTML messages with custom background in Thunderbird - YEAH!

Sometimes, solutions come from unexpected sources.

Until now, I hadn't found a way of viewing HTML messages with a customized background color. There is an option to view messages in "simple" HTML, but along with the background color, that also removes all font sizes and colors. So I had to make do with viewing all HTML messages with the default background color, which was in most cases the brightest and most dazzling shade of white.

Today, I was browsing for updates of my TB extensions. I found that "QuoteColor" had an update, and installed it. And lo and behold, there was an option allowing me to select the background color of HTML messages. Too cool! That will surely put an end to the snow-blindness now.
