Background images in Outlook 2007

I'm sure you're all well aware that Outlook 2007 has issues wherever background images are concerned. For an age now, we email designers have been having to ignore the itch to create templates that make use of any kind of background image and have instead had to fall back on dirty nasty background colours to match the surrounding areas.

Well my friends, no longer do we have to suffer the tyranny of Outlook 2007(and 2010)!

Some very clever bod (@ThiesBW) has worked it out.

You can read more on the Campaign Monitor forum and there's also mention of it on their blog.

This is a pretty big game changer, there looks to be a few bits to work out yet (and what specifically stops it from working) but in the grand scheme of things.. it's pretty damn awesome overall.

edit: I've tried this using Constant Contact, so far no joy, it seems Constant Contact strips out all the relevant code. I'll give it a go using a differemt, better, system tomorrow.. !
