Dear Maintainer,

I use the MATE desktop environment with the BlackMATE theme and Thunderbird with
its native black theme.

Following the Thunderbird update from version 140.17.0esr-1 to 153.4.0esr-1,
the email address and subject fields in the new message composition window display
white text on a white background, making them unreadable.

I tried changing the text color in the Thunderbird settings, but the change does not apply to these fields.

Regards.
