How do I get a background image to appear in an html email for Outlook?

I’ve created a HTML email and the background images don’t appear. Can someone please tell me how to change the below code so that the image will be displayed?

Make your background image an absolute path and it will work. Like this:
Good luck!

i think it’s because the image file is not attached in the email.. so the client’s email client wil not find it…
maybe you can do this:
background=”http://myMailServer/images/header.gif”
or attach the image in the email, but make sure you have the right paths..
good luck!

if the image is on your hard drive you need to locate it and right click on it and click on properties. in that dialog box you’ll see the path name to the location of the file. it should look something like this.
it will look like one of these two below.
file:\\\thisfolder\anotherfolder\header.gif
c:\thisfolder\anotherfolder\header.gif
to copy that in the properties box move your cursor to the left end of the path name (c:) and hold down the left mouse button while you drag the mouse to the right and down. if the path name is really long it will scroll up until you see the end. now release the left mouse button and press CTRL+C to copy that into the computer’s memory. now paste that into the code below like this.
click where you want it to appear and press CTRL+V to paste it. very simple.
when you send the email the email and the image will be sent together.
