Removing Color from messages

Hi I am wondering how you remove the colored text of certain emails. I set a rule to color certain emails blue, but then when I didn't want it and deleted it, the color remained... Does anybody know how to get rid of the color even if I have no rules? Thanks!

The only other built-in method for changing the color of the titles of some messages that I know of, besides a rule you might have built, is the Advanced Junk Mail Filter, but I think the default color for it is brown.

If that's not it, then we need some other input. Sorry, if that's not it then you'll probably want to repost your question with a title that says you want to remove colors from some message titles. That may get some attention with fewer questions about which colors you are talking about.

You will need to make a rule. Set the condition to every message, and the action to set foreground color to black (you will need to select other, then pick black from the palette). Turn off all rules except this one. Exit from the rules, without applying, then select the messages you need to change and use menu Message/Apply Rules. Go back to the rules preferences and delete or deactivate the rule.
