So this may be an issue that's not worth fixing, but here it comes:
I receive email from people who write HTML emails. And sometimes these
people assume a white background, and write with a hardcoded dark grey
color, which makes everything hard to read.
TBH, I don't think the “solution” of just putting every HTML email on a
white background is actually a solution. So I wonder, do you have easy
workarounds for this issue? Changing the colorscheme on each such mail
is not very user-friendly :)
Again, thank you for notmuch (and emacs notmuch-mode)!

My personal workaround is to disable document colors and fonts:
(setq shr-use-colors nil
shr-use-fonts nil)
This assumes that you have mm-text-html-renderer set to shr (which is
probably the case if you see colors).
For emails where this doesn't work well I use ". v" on the text/html
part to launch it in an external browser.
