xref bug 147645; this is largley copied from that bug:
It seems that a global style for {HTML Message Compose <body>} is created on
startup, initialized by the Composition preferences; and that this style gets
changed by the Advanced Edit|Inline Style dialog.
"Current body style" apparently defaults to only the fg/bg colors, font, and
font-size as specified by Preferences|Mail&News|Composition.
However, any changes made in the compose window via
Format|Page Colors and Background|Advanced Edit|Inline Style
are applied not only in the message, but to subsequent messages.
In other words, if you set up the Inline Style the way you want it in the
Advanced Edit page and click OK, that's how all the HTML messages will be
formatted/styled from then on. (The style is global to all accounts.)
However, this "setting" does not persist over Mozilla sessions, so it cannot be
used as the sort of style template desired by reporter. There are also certain
other actions that can be taken that will reset the style, but I haven't figured
out exactly what they are.
To reproduce:
1) Set up HTML composition prefs with a particular color scheme
2) Open a new HTML Compose Message window
3) Format | Page Colors and Background | Advanced Edit | Inline Style tab
4) Set CSS styles for 'color' and 'background-color', and any other styles
that suit you -- border, margin, background-image, etc.
5) Complete message and send
6) Open a new HTML Compose Message window
Actual results:
Message window has the same formatting as the previous message
Expected results:
Message window is formatted according to Composition preferences, with no CSS
carryovers from previous message.

Note that setting a CSS background image on the Inline Style tag will also
persistently apply to subsequent messages, and the selected image file name will
be preselected in the {Page Colors and Background} dialog (and the image itself
will be seen in the sample box).
Also, see bug 234252.

Workaround, from bug 192557 comment 14:
> A manual style set on the body persists after the compose window is recycled,
> the cure is to open a second [composition] window.

This bug has been fixed, presumably by the fix for 249882. Duping.
