Not sure if this is really a Gnus thing, but since I enabled shr,
formatted html messages are pretty much completely unreadable.  I tried
playing with shr-color-visible-(distance|luminance)-min (and I mean,
cranking them way, way up) but still can't
get anything I can actually read.  (White background with dark text; I
keep getting grey backgrounds.)

What I'd really like to do is just turn off the backgrounds entirely, or
maybe use them only when the text is very light, but I don't see a
setting for that.
