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)?

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> Chip -------- Original message -------- From: "'Skand Bhargava' [email protected] [blat]" Date:01/01/2017 1:36 PM (GMT-07:00) To: [email protected] Subject: [blat] Stationery 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. Regards, Skand
