155538 - Mailnews window inherits colours from html attachments

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31052

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Not interested in Mozilla any more]

If you recieve an HTML attachment with non-defauls colours then the mailnews
window uses those colours to show the body of the mail message. Steps to reproduce.

1) Create an HTML file with say a background colour of black and a text colour
   of white.
2) Email this file to yourself. Enter some text in the body of the message.

What's wrong:

When you recieve this message the body text for the message (not the attachment)
will be white on black.

What should happend:

The attachment should be displayed using it's colours but the mail message
should show in the standard mailnews window colours. This is actually what
happens in 4.x.

Seen in all builds upto and including 2002061103 (1.1a) on Mac, sorry can't
comment on other platforms.
