That was it (3D controls/Button-face). Thanks for the help.

Thanks. That gives me the backround color when the focus is on the email title, but if I click on the reading pane the color changes and it looks like all of the other emails.

Quick Question. What property on a skin determines the background color in outlook, of an email message when the reading pane has focus. Heres a link to a screenshot. I have a skin that I love, but I'd like to change this color. Thanks in advance...
