Set "default" as the background color. This works for me in
xfce4-terminal, preserving terminal transparency.

For example, in your ~/.muttrc. 
 
color normal brightwhite default
color index  brightwhite default 

(I don't know whether the second line is needed, or whether additional
color declarations are needed. My ~/.muttrc on Xubuntu already came
with nice custom color declarations and I've since added lots of
others, so I've lost track).
