Background images not working in Outlook 2007 and later

Question

I made an HTML Email Template that is working fine in most email readers, but the background images are not showing in Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013. How can I solve the prob

Answer 1

I've just come across this problem while creating bulk emailer templates in MailChimp.

While the Outlook client software allows only body tag backgrounds, these are stripped out by webmail sites like Outlook webmail (hotmail), gmail etc.

The same is also true in reverse... Outlook client strips out table background images, whereas webmail clients allow table backgrounds.

Solution: use both:

In Mailchimp itself, this seems to display erroneously - you can see the edge of the body background around the edges of the table background, but by the time it reaches the recipient, either one or the other is stripped out depending on whether they're using Outlook client software or Hotmail/Gmail webmail.
I'm yet to try this in other email client programs or webmail, so I don't know if there are others that would display both.  If anyone has tried this method with other email client software or webmail other than Hotmail or Gmail, I'd very much like to know if this fix is universal.
