Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.8  (20040913)

If one composes a new mail and specifies a background image (with format/page
setting/background image) and then closes the new mail (or sends it, doesnt
matter...) then this background image will also be used on the next mail one
composes. 
The text colors/background color etc are reset to what one specified for new
mails in the settings/compose/new html mail - but the background image remains
until one removes the entry with format/page setting/background image. OR if one
restarts Thunderbird. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press compose
2. Dont enter any mail text, subject or recipient - just click in the the
message window
3. Select format/page setting/background image and choose a jpeg image
4. Image is displayed in the background
5. Close the compose window without saving or sending the mail
6. Press compose - the background from the last mail is still used

Actual Results:  
The background from the last mail is used until one specifies a new one, or
restarts thunderbird

Expected Results:  
New mail should not have a background image - or (new feature :-) there should
be a default image that is specified under settings/compose/new html mail.
Summary: If one composes an email with background image, then the next composed mail will also use this image → Background image of mail still used for next composed message
This is similar to bug 234436, which was supposed to be fixed by bug 249882's 
patch.

Background and text colors are persisting, as well, despite the fact that that 
bug is marked 'fixed-aviary'.  It does appear to be fixed in Moz 1.8a4-0924.

I can't easily help with Thunderbird-specific bugs, sorry.
Problem still exists in Thunderbird 1.5 RC1 (20051025) on Windows XP.
This is working on the trunk; 1.6a1-1201 does not manifest the bug.
I suspect this is due to Neil's fix for bug 294793, comment 2 notwithstanding.
Right, all these bugs seem to be about body styles.
OK, marking Fixed.
