[peter hodgson]

ubuntu [hardy]
 emacs: 22.1-0ubuntu10
   gnus: 5.11+v0.5.dfsg
slackware [12.0]
 emacs: 22.2-i486-1

i need to get rid of the complex color schemes in my gnus mail buffer,
 (Message MML Fly +Chg Abbrev Fill)
and my major emacs composing mode,
  (Parindent Fly +Chg);

i want a white [not gray] background,
black foreground,
and yellow for spelling mistakes;

do i have to purge all mention of color from .bashrc, .bash_profile,
/etc/X11/Xresources, etc.? 

can i start over with a few simple lines? i've googled and read up on
this topic, but nothing i've tried can even get rid of the gray
background;

send me to the appropriate info source; thanks, imputerate

Setup corresponding faces via `M-x customize-face ... `. Message-related
faces have prefix `message-`.

Set white background in default face.

See `color-theme.el` package (AFAIR it's bundled with modern GNU Emacs),
you might consider creating your own color theme package.

It isn't, but it's easy to find through the Emacs Wiki.

Try customizing gnus-visual. Or turn of font-lock: M-x font-lock-mode
RET.
