Re: [Evolution] Color of selected text...

Hello Ralf,

Thank you for the information regarding this!  I will look into the
theme issue, and see what is happening.  I am somewhat new to Linux,
(maybe two years), so this will take me a bit of time.  The good part
is I will learn something new, I have not even looked at Themes yet!

Again, thank you for the help!  Once I find out exactly what is causing
the issue, I will post a redux here.
