I created:

[bobg at box10 ~]$ cat .thunderbird/chrome
#
#    /home/bobg/.thunderbird/chrome


# @namespace url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
# a {
#    color: white !important;}



# if you want to make links white and bold:
a {
     color: white !important;
     font-weight: bold !important;}

Which I believe is what you were suggesting I do? Restarted Thunderbird, 
even tried rebooting the computer, but still have dark blue links 
displayed on a black background.

I also tried adding that to seamonkey with no change.
