I'm very frustrated with Microsoft and Google. I just realized (after having spent hours across 3 days designing an html email update) that Microsoft no longer supports background images in Microsoft Outlook (2007 version). They did in the 2003 version. Gmail also does not support background images. This is really frustrating as I know very little about html and design and don't know how to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish apart from a background image. Most email clients do support this functionality.
You can read more about it at http://www.email-standards.org/what-you-can-do/.
So I ended up sending the email as it was. Some people will get it with a picture (if you use a Mac, use Mozilla Thunderbird, Yahoo and several other email clients). Many (maybe a majority) will get an email with a great big space at the top where the picture should have been. Not very professional or nice looking.
If someone knows an easy work around for this for next time, please let me know.

Whenever I get your message get a warning that they didn't download the pictures and I can choose to do so if I want. I do and it all shows up normally.
I'm using MS Outlook 2003, which it is quite possible a number of other people would still be doing as well. So, perhaps not all is lost.
What happened with Victoria's appendix? Since I haven't heard more I assume it wasn't appendicitis?
