Well, the answer is not so simple :-)

You can store the attached file in the following folder (you need to 
create some of the folders):

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/

This only works for plain text emails, but you can enable “Prefer 
plain text” in the Viewer preferences pane if you like.

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:

	~/Library/Application 
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/html_stylesheet.css

And it should contain something like this:

~~~css
* {
	background-color: black !important;
	color: white !important;
}
~~~

This literally kills all existing color styling and forces white on 
black. It also overrides the settings of the file I attached.

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.)
