Background Color in Entourage 2008

BTW you can configure Mail to have a colored background using the
"rules". I despise the "white" backgrounds, hard on the eyes.

I don't like the white either but have not figured out how to
color the background in Entourage 2008.

Barry,

I am aware that I can format my outgoing messages with a background.
That was not the question. I would like to tint the WHITE background for
all incoming messages, including list of messages. Sorry I was not more
specific.

I don't think I am alone with this request.

In System Preferences, select Displays --> Display tab --> There is a
Brightness slider. Adjust that. It really helps the WHITE background to
soften.

forward your suggestion to the developers by clicking on the 'send feedback'
item under the help menu.

The more people that request this feature, the more likely it is to be
adopted.

Is this what you mean?

-----
The stark white background makes it hard to read Incoming mail. It
would be a nice improvement if users had an option to select a
background color.

I am very satisfied with Entourage 12.3 but this would make it better and
keep up with Apple Mail and Eudora that both have this feature.

Thanks for listening to a suggested improvement
