Remove background from HTML email

One of our customers insists on using a hideous background in their emails, reminiscent of woodchip wallpaper. I find it intensely irritating, mainly because it always looks like crud on my monitor.

Short of setting the font to Plain Text, is there some way of removing it when replying?

However, someone else's choice of a background color or image might not match what you would want to use, if you were to forward or reply to their message.

Ah, thank you! It was clicking within the message body before selecting Options that I wasn't doing!
