If you send a "HTML mail" where you change the background color of the mail the backgroud color is not shown in Mozilla. Build 2000052420

This seems fixed...? Have you done anything? I can see anything checked in!
Hi Henrik, Nope...nothing on my end. What you have to realize is that often times, the bugs you file against mime/me are not me at all, but rather changes in layout. Just like when vCards break every few weeks. I haven't touched that code in ages, but it seems to find a way to break and get fixed because layout is changing constantly. - rhp

Sorry if I file bugs in the wrong components. It's hard to find out whether a rendering bug is to be filed in the mail&news department or in the browser department. But anyways... more time for you to work on other bugs...:) Later!

This problem is still present even in a recent windows build (2000113004). This is the original submission of bug 54455. To see this bug: Create new message Change background color Save as draft or Send to yourself Open saved or received message bgcolor is ignored and is shown as white Message source shows correct color eg <body bgcolor="#009900" ... should display green background.

This seems fixed in 2001-03-16-04 / Win98. Has anyone done anything for this? Thanks!
I still see the problem on WinNT 2001032104

I think it's a layout bug. I will attach a test file that correctly set the background color when viewed with 4.x or even IE. However, it doesn't with Mozilla. The file is a capture of the output generated by mime during message display.
Just click on the attachment link above, the backround should be purple. Reassign to layout...

Reassigning to pierre. The external style sheet seems to be causing it. The 2nd body may not be relevant.

The problem happens because the style declarations in the linked stylesheet have a higher specificity than the html attributes, and not just because the stylesheet is declared 'important'. Setting the default color on the html element instead of the body should fix it. jeff & daniel: please review

Patch works great. Thanks for fixing it. R=ducarroz
the BodyFixupRule is going to kill us all ;-) r=glazman
Isn't the selector wrong in the patch for the modern skin, since there's a default namespace that you need to override? ("html" should be "html|html".) And might you be better off not specifying anything? After all, with this, couldn't you end up with a border of one color around a message of the other? What do we do if there's nothing specified? (Do we use the defaults for the canvas?)
You are correct for the default namespace. For the background color, my take is that we want to edit the mail with the background color that is generally used by emailers, which is white.
Shoot, I still have these changes in my tree and now we need approvals to checkin... Marc: please s/r DBaron: please approve
