        Hi,
yes, they do. Dark theme is a challenge with HTML mails, because the
sender can override only the text color, but not the background color,
or vice versa, in which case the theme colors can make the text
invisible or very hard to read. An easy workaround is to select the
text, which will use selection foreground and background colors.

It depends. Evolution tries to use theme colors, to follow the look and
feel with the rest of the desktop. That's visible with plain text
mails, which work fine. There had been done a fix for partial color
inheritance for 3.36.1+ at:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/824

Read the issue through, it contains hints on how to apply other
workaround (enable a hidden option to unset "all" HTML colors and use
the theme colors also in the HTML mails (it makes rainbow-colored mails
just two-color mails)), the same as a way to apply the fix into the
current installation.
