Whenever I compose *or* whenever I view any email, it's mostly white
text on a black background.

Emails from people I know have their own color formatting and that's
lost. I'm unable to figure out a way to prevent that from happening.
Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know.

Currently, the theme I'm using is "System them - auto". I've tried other
themes, but none of them allow me any customization of what colors are
used for either viewing or composition.

As I said in the OP, this is a complete deal killer for me. I'll have to
go back to version 102.15.1 if I can't find a workaround.
