Hello,
I've been trying to create a theme for my company with a background image which doesn't repeat.
Several attempts and no results made me asking on some forums, hoping for advise to make it working.
So, basically all I'm trying is to make a simple html theme for Outlook 2007, using a background image which
will not repeat but simply fill the centre of my mail message, adding on with a white edge, if necessary.
Can anyone help me on it? It shouldn't be too hard but I'm simply unable to figure it out somehow.

Kind regards, S.

I don't know what CSS Outlook accepts, but here's how you do it for a web page.

What have you tried so far?

Apparently, Outlook 2007 doesn't display background-images at all.
See page 3 of Sitepoint's article How to Code HTML Email Newsletters.

This is my last attempt so far, it didnt work
<TD valign="top" style="background: url(Mail bgr.jpg) no-repeat top left; border:none;">

Ive been able to create a mail background, but it repeated.
Maybe the themes are just the most basic html files with no extra options whatsoever?
I copied the file into the right directory, as I found it back,
it just didnt display the image.
