I’ve been told using tables is the best way to send emails although it’s been twice as difficult. I have setup the email in tables, set all of the cells which need backgrounds with the background="" property, as well as using CSS in <style> tags saying the same thing to cover my bases. The body background shows fine in outlook, but the TD backgrounds do not. I’ve tried also using but that doesn’t work either. I’ve read that Outlook 2007 doesn’t support background images and won’t in the future, I’m thinking there has to be a way around it?

    Checkout this link for supported HTML and CSS tags in Outlook 2007:

    MS also offers an HTML/CSS Validation Tool for Outlook 2007 at the URL above. That may at least provide you with a method of testing.

    I have found that “Less Is More”, when it comes to HTML emails – simple layout, simple techniques. Since each email client is going to vary, “dumbing” it down is the only way to guarantee the broadest reach.
