Details

The mailing list page (mailman) and pages belonging to it
specifies a BGCOLOR but leaves the font colour up to the browser.

If one has set the default colors to a light on dark theme
the result will be light gray text on white/light blue background
which is unreadable.

Simplest fix: change the colour part of the <BODY> tags:
-<BODY bgcolor=...
+<BODY style="background-color:white; color:black;"
(I would suppyly a proper patch, but I guess it is all CGI so patching
the html would do little)

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  This is vanilla mailman behaviour, user has custom colors so is responsible for his own configuration. He should use something like greasemonkey instead of changing the default browser colors.
