Sinsull, I think the problem may be in how you use your E-mail. If you can see the colors your e-mail program supports "Rich Text". Just look around at the buttons over the text field for one marked "Format". On mine it lets me change colors of print and background both. My relatives have advised me to quit using lime green letters on a magenta field or they would beat me over the head and shoulders when they saw me next. JWSmith
