How to modify color of headings? about org-msg

[jeremy-compostella]

Hi,

I you read the documentation, you would see that you can customize the org-msg-enforce-css variable to change the style. You could just create you own, copy the default and make some changes, or just make some changes to the current configuration after the org-msg module has been loaded from your own configuration, see below example:

(eval-after-load 'org-msg
  `(progn
     ;; Set headline level 1, 2 and 3 black
     (dolist (tag '(h1 h2 h3))
       (let ((cur (cdr (alist-get tag org-msg-enforce-css))))
	 (setcar cur (assq-delete-all 'color (car cur)))
	 (push (cons 'color "black") (cadr (alist-get tag org-msg-enforce-css)))))
     ;; Remove underline on headline level 3
     (let ((cur (cdr (alist-get 'h3 org-msg-enforce-css))))
       (setcar cur (assq-delete-all 'text-decoration (car cur))))))

Regards,
Jeremy

Can I close it now ?

Yes, I read the documentation but found the modification of the variable to difficult to understand. I'll reopen it, if there are any more questions. Thanks.

I've had good results for both outlook and gmail simply using no custom styles at all. I have this in my init.el:

(setq org-msg-enforce-css "/path/to/an/empty/file.css")

Good. Note that you will likely start running into some formatting issue with such a solution when you will reply to emails making strong use of CSS.
