in the _compose_ window, it is 'quoted text'.

that is "config editor", aka, "about:config" window.

are you meaning all the quoted text, or just parts of the text?

if you want all text in black, you need to create a file for your profile
directories "chrome" directory with a name of "usersContent.css".

this is what i have in mine;

   /* replace colored bars with ">" */
   .moz-text-plain blockquote[type=cite]
      {border: none !important; padding: 0 !important;}

   /* Quoted text in plain-text replies */
   span[_moz_quote=true] {color: black;}

   #removeAllSignons {display: none !important;}

that should set you 'smoking old gold'. and i mean the cigarettes of years
past. not 'smoking gold' of today. ;=)

for information about chrome files and what goes into them;

i have plenty of mozilla bookmarks for various settings. if there are others,
please start a new thread. this one is getting long enough as it is and we
do not need to confuse things more. ;=)
