Embedding images behind table objects

R

Robert Jones

I have created an Outlook template that contains embedded images behind
table objects (source code below).

Opening the template is fine - the images display correctly. However if I
then use the template to post an email, the images disappear in the email
that is sent.

Any ideas what is up? Normal images continue to display correctly.

Here is the HTML source code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>test web page</H1>
<P>Hello this is a web page
<HR>
<IMG src="cid:myident3">
<TABLE background=cid:myident1>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD>cell 1-1</TD>
<TD>cell 1-2</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>cell 2-1</TD>
<TD>cell 2-2</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>cell 3-1</TD>
<TD>cell 3-2</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>cell 4-1</TD>
<TD>cell 4-2</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<HR>

<TABLE>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD background=cid:myident2>hello there </TD>
<TD>something else</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<HR>
<A href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">go to the bbc</A> </BODY></HTML>

Save the email and don't send it and look at the HTML. Do the same in Sent
Items after sending and then in Inbox after receiving the email. See what's
different. Also make sure the embedded attachments survived the round trip.
