Build: 2001021308, Mac OS 9.0

To reproduce:
*   Make an HTML file which contains the following:
    <head>
      <style
        type="text/css"
      ><!--
        body {
          color: black;
          background: #f0e0e0;
        }
        h1, body>dl>dt, .address {
          font-variant: small-caps;
        }
      --></style>
    </head>
    <body>
      <dl>
        <dt>Bar</dt>
        <dd>Foo</dd>
      </dl>
    </body>
*   Send a message to yourself which contains this file as an attachment.
*   View the message.

What you should see:
*   The message with your default background color, containing an attachment
    with a pale pink background color.

What you actually see:
*   The message with a pale pink background color.

Note that the DT small-caps style also isn't applied to the attachment -- I
don't know if that's the same bug or a separate bug.
adding mstoltz to the cc list.

potentially annoying, but it could be worse. I can't think of anything else we
can do that isn't suboptimal. Putting it in an iframe means it doesn't scroll
the same way as the rest of the document. Could the renderer treat a file with
multiple <html> tags so that the style doesn't bleed over? or would that be
against the html specification?
