Dear Chip
Thanks for the prompt response. In these examples:
1. Is it implied that the file "bgimage.jpg" is residing in the root of http://www.w3schools.com website?
2. While in first example the file will be picked up from a website when recipient opens the email, in second the image will become part of the email itself (and making the email bulkier)?

Post by Chip ***@att.net [blat]Post by 'Skand Bhargava' ***@softoolsme.com [blat]Hi
Can we send stationery style emails using blat? I wish some sort of
artwork as a background of the whole email body.
I do not think embed will work because I am assuming that text fill flow
around the embedded image.

tag to tell the renderor to get the image from your embedded attachment.
A foreground image could have text around it, but background images are
different.
I will look up the syntax shortly.

This link http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_body_background.asp shows how to
specify the background image. However, the first example presumes a web
based image. To use an embedded image, use the cid: reference.
Here is the first example from the above link:
<html>
<body background="bgimage.jpg">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools.com!</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Here it is with the cid: reference. You can then include your background
image with -embed option.
<html>
<body background="cid:bgimage.jpg">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools.com!</a></p>
</body>
</html>
