how is it you are setting the background colors? Are you using JavaScript in the head or are you doing a kind of table within table and setting the bgcolor property there?

Quick question: Was all of that HTML generated by buzzcast?

On first glance I can locate two things that may cause a problem with the background color being seen. First, the body element is burried inside the first table element. BODY must come first, before anything else in your code. Second, the value of the bgcolor attribute (#000000) is not quoted like all the other colors.

I don't know that either of these would cause the background color to be "edited out" of your mailing, but they could cause display issues with certain browsers.
