Description Craig Routledge 2004-12-29 23:10:39 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)

Description of problem:
The web interface to the mailing lists uses similar colors for visited
and un-visited links, which makes it very hard to follow threads.  I'm
using dialup, and so subscribing to lists such as "fedora-list" isn't
practical.Would it be possible to use different colors or not specify
colors at all -- leaving it to the browser defaults?

The relevant line is: body link="#000066" vlink="#333399"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF"

Although the colors look far apart by number, they are in fact blue
and slightly lighter blue.  I've attached a screenshot showing a few
items with one previously clicked link.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. read several messages from the archive
2. go back to an index page
3. try and determine which links have been visited
