<p dir="auto">You can store the attached file in the following folder (you need to create some of the folders):</p>
<pre style="background: #E4E4E4; border: thin solid gray; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px"><code>~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">This only works for plain text emails, but you can enable “Prefer plain text” in the Viewer preferences pane if you like.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you really want to make it work for HTML messages then it's not so easily done. Consider the following a hack. Create this file:</p>
<pre style="background: #E4E4E4; border: thin solid gray; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px"><code>~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/html_stylesheet.css
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">And it should contain something like this:</p>
<div style="background: #002b36; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px"><pre style="border: thin solid gray; line-height: 125%; overflow: auto; padding: 5px"><span style="color: #839496">*</span> <span style="color: #839496">{</span>
<span style="color: #859900">background-color</span><span style="color: #839496">:</span> <span style="color: #268bd2">black</span> <span style="color: #586e75; font-style: italic">!important</span><span style="color: #839496">;</span>
<span style="color: #859900">color</span><span style="color: #839496">:</span> <span style="color: #268bd2">white</span> <span style="color: #586e75; font-style: italic">!important</span><span style="color: #839496">;</span>
<span style="color: #839496">}</span>

<p dir="auto">This literally kills all existing color styling and forces white on black. It also overrides the settings of the file I attached.</p>

<p dir="auto">and composing messages?</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not currently possibly to change the background color of the composer, but I might be willing to look into that. (A workaround is to use the support for an external text editor.)</p>
