Table Background image in email
===

I'm having trouble with my background image not showing up in an emailer. Can anyone tell me why this would be happening.

       <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="489" width="638" align="left" background="images/email-bg.jpg">

Here is the full setup with nested table for the text to overlay on top of the tables background image.

 

      <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="489" width="638" align="left" background="images/email-bg.jpg">
         <tr>
                <td valign="top" align="left">
                    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                            <td align="left" valign="top" width="100%" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#585858; padding:35px 230px 0 40px">
                                <p style="font-size:28px; color:#474747">Welcome to <b>bla bla</p>
                                <p style="font-weight:bold; margin-bottom: 4px;">Just click the link below to finish your registration:</p>
                                <a href="#">Continue</a>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td align="left" valign="top" width="100%" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#FFF; padding:80px 120px 0 40px">
                                <p style="margin-bottom:0">** Please do not reply to this automated message. The Email box that sent the message is not monitored.**</p>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
        
                    </table>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
