[tlug] New Install Text Colo(u)r Problem

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

I have a new OS installed, too ...

I tried Debian 6.0 KDE 32-bit in a VBox and it worked great.  I liked it 
a lot better than Xubuntu amd64, which I had been using.  So, I mirrored 
my existing desktop on to a USB HDD and did a net install of  Debian 6.0 
amd64.  I tried out the Gnome, KDE, and XFCE versions, finding it to be 
a totally different OS than the 32-bit version ... a complete pig ... 
and not the upgrade I thought it would be.  It hid all updaters, 
software sources, and package lists; it would not allow my User to use 
"sudo;" and kept shutting off hardware (sound and camera, in particular) 
and asking me to uninstall drivers.

So, my HDD has a shiny new install of Kubuntu amd64, which worked right 
off the DVD.  All of my existing files and settings dropped straight in. 
 iBus worked for me immediately but I have two indicators shown.  One 
works.  I have both my Android and WIN XP VBoxes back and both seem to 
load and run faster, now.

Two smallish problems, though:

1.  In Claws Mail all of my HTML mail text that should be black comes 
out red.  All other colors are the right ones.  Does anyone know whether 
this is a KDE or a Claws issue?  I can't find a text color setting that 
seems to work just for HTML.  I am not having this problem in T-Bird or 
Firefox.

2.  All of the links work, but the new window pops under the existing 
page instead of over.  I just know there's a way to fix this, but 
looking through all of the KDE setup pages is not being informative.  I 
am probably seeing the right command but looking straight through it.
