No, I never knew about those options until now.  However, I prefer
viewing the detailed messages as Web pages in my browser.  That allows
me more options to change the display.

For example, I read amateur fiction online as Web pages.  I get an RSS
feed each time a story has a new chapter.  Some authors like to show off
their HTML skills, with white text on a dark background.  I have toolbar
buttons on my browser to change that to black text on a pale green
backgroun, which is much easier on my eyes.  Some stories have links to
related information.  I can select a link to open in a new tab without
losing my place in the story and without having to jump between
Thunderbird and my browser.

As I indicated, Thunderbird is NOT a Web browser.
