Default background messages

Question

Hi,
I try to figure out how to change the default background of the message windows in Mail. I try to realise grey as the default background colour but I have not figured out any way to do this other that set it for each message individually.
Thanks in advance for feedback.

Here is some code that will display all the UIManager properties and the default settings.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ShowUIManager {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
        System.out.println("Count Item = " + defaults.size());
        String[ ] colName = {"Key", "Value"};
        String[ ][ ] rowData = new String[ defaults.size() ][ 2 ];
        int i = 0;
        for(Enumeration e = defaults.keys(); e.hasMoreElements(); i++){
            Object key = e.nextElement();
            rowData[ i ] [ 0 ] = key.toString();
            rowData[ i ] [ 1 ] = ""+defaults.get(key);
            System.out.println(rowData[0]+" ,, "+rowData[i][1]);
JFrame f = new JFrame("UIDefaults Key-Value sheet");
JTable t = new JTable(rowData, colName);
f.setContentPane(new JScrollPane(t));
//f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
