Try Kmail Setting/Configure/Appearance

That's where you change the settings for type font, appearance, color, 
background, etc., for Kmail text. I think the html settings are different in 
that you have to choose to send and receive html, or maybe it is rather that 
one chooses not to send html but plain text only (like the Present Author). 

If I understand what you're (singular) asking and others (plural) discussing - 
how to make your text yellow and background black and quoted text green, and 
links red, et cetera ad infinitum et nauseam - I skimmed through the emails, 
sorry - then this ought to solve the problem.
