html email background images and outlook

Hi,
I wanted to send an HTML email to our homelist and first tested how it came through into different emails eg. yahoo, gmail, etc. For some reason when it came into outlook, the background image did not come through. Please let me know how i can fix the problem. I used both html and css to specify a background image.

Sincerely,
Rivka

Hello, that is because the email servers block the images.
You need to attach the image to that email, or try to send the email with the background path like this:

background = "http://www.aaaa.com/images/xxxx.jpg"

Try to user a full path not relative.

If you continue with this problem, paste your code.

Thanks
