Hi guys,

This is driving me mad, can someone tell me how to turn this off?

Whenever i forward an email but edit it first the new text i've
entered stays black but the pre existing forwarded texts comes up
purple!

It's making people know how lazy i am on company emails by reusing
paragraphs from old emails.

Help!

Natalie

Are you using the web application or a mail program?

Do you have any Google Labs enabled?

I am testing what I think you mean, and so far it looks like my Gmail does not do it. (If it does, that last sentence is going to look like a patchwork color-wise.)

Does it actually appear purple for the recipient? I'm pretty sure that
the color change is something Gmail automatically does for its
display, but it doesn't actually format the message that way.

For each time an e-mails is froward a different color may come up there is no way to change the color unless you do it in your browser. This is Standard!

Oh yes this drives me mad too.. When it's very important I copy all
the text to word. Edit it there. Copy paste it back to a brand new
'compose' mail in gmail... ahem .. me not lazy ;-)

I was doing that until Gmail added Comic Sans as a font...

There was someone who post a how to get rid or change the text colors but i kinda bypassed it b/c i was answering like 10 other post. So it seems like everyone wants custom colors or just want them gone. Please check your labs!
