Override Incoming Email HTML in Thunderbird

Question

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird (2.0.0.23), and regularly receive HTML email from people who use HTML background colors. I find them annoying and would like to override the background colors without resorting to viewing all email as plain text. Can I override styles/html in incoming email? I've looked at the available settings under the View menu as well as Tools->Options but they don't seem to be fine-grained enough for my purposes.

Answer 1

You should be able to achieve this by creating a userContent.css file in your Thunderbird profile directory.
