You can do this with CSCMail... We support Gtk Themes, so you should choose a
Gtk theme that is dark.  We also support and load a gtkrc file specific to
CSCMail... After installation you will find it in
${prefix}/lib/cscmail/cscmail.gtkrc  If you look at that file, the default
forces Black text on a White background for the view widget (the "html" style)

Simply reverse the bg[] and fg[] and you will have white text on a black
background.

You also can add to this rc file and customize the look and feel of CSCMail
completely to your tastes.  Feel free to ask on this list, or e-mail me
personally if you have any problems.  I will do all I can to help.
