Hi Rudy, I don't use Windows Live Mail but I did Google for you and the following site indicates that it's nearly impossible to do. http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/blog/change-windows-live-mail-layout-colors/ If this doesn't answer your question. Try Googling and asking the question why you can't. Wish I could have been of more help.
