fyi, I tested this in page composer and could not reproduce this behavior on win32, linux, and macos on branch build. It looks like a mail only bug.
triaging to mime. I'm assuming mime is the one who generates the message contents that get saved to disk when saving to a template or draft. Rich, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. (I'd also future this one for a later release).

Duplicate of bug 40546. The problem isn't with saving to disk. I checked the message source and the html is still correct eg <body bgcolor="#00ff00" ... but still displays white. Problem is with viewing/editing a received or saved message.

Update per request in mail triage to try 4.7 with one of these templates. Using one of the supplied American Greeting template message in 4.7 and sending the background shows up fine in 4.7 , 6.0 ,6.01 & trunk. Using one of the supplied American Greeting template message in 6.0, 6.01 & trunk and sending does not display the background in 4.7, 6.0, 6.01 & trunk.
