Is there any WORKING example of an email that will show a background image?
Even "bulletproof" VML solutions won't really work, ex:

How make background image on newsletter in outlook?
Tried, VML, img tags, background images on different tags, svg, nothing seems to really work for Outlook Desktop.
For the record, background images will work anywhere but Outloook Desktop client (gmail, outlook web/mobile, etc).
Thanks.
The background-image CSS property is not supported by the Word editor in Outlook. You can read more about supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties in the Word HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook article.
Word renders HTML images in Outlook, and it does not support background images for the body HTML element. Try to create a table that takes the whole client area and specify a background image for that table.

Yes Outlook doesn't support all CSS, If you want to add gradient in background so design a image and call it as background-image. Hope this will help you
I'm trying to transform the following example into a version compatible with mobile devices email client apps (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).
Putting a background image to a table and then putting 2 images works correctly on webmail clients, but not all mobile devices display the background image.
Is there any way to get this same result without using background-image?
Using <img> appears to be the only way to make the email responsive and all devices display it correctly.
Why not place a background image in a container div instead of the actual table?. This will make it pretty much universally compatible. While outlook mail doesn't support divs with certain CSS styling, if you are using a static background container div, you shouldn't run into any problems.

I can not seem to figure out how to get that working for webmail. Does anyone know how to?
Thanks in advance

I suggest using something like Bulletproof background images that provide a fallback color. Otherwise, if you have to have a background image, you will need to slice the text with background images and use img tags.
After lots of googling and hours wasted, realized that OWA does not support background image in normal mode. But when opened in full view, the image shows up. Beats me !
I have a website I have just built. Everything looks reasonable in Mac browsers, but in windows browsers such as IE there seems to be some rendering problems in terms of very thin sketchy white lines in between where the main header image butts joins the surrounding background image, and also between the background image and the surrounding background colour. The images were created in photoshop. I'm probably not explaining it very well, but please take a look at the site. The link is below. Thankyou

These are img artifacts. Here's the fixed jpg: http://i.imgur.com/O6rtiZ2.jpg
I'm designing my personal website at the moment and want to have images inside h2 headlines in the same line. The markup I'm currently using validates, so does the css and the desired effect shows up on Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE8 in standards mode.
IE8 in compatibility mode and IE6+7 however put the image into the next line which looks awful, of course. I'm not quite sure how to work around this and currently I'm stuck. Help and an explanation, possibly a pointer where I could educate myself more about those particular things with IE would be greatly appreciated.

Don't use the <img> tag for what you're trying to do. Although they are images, they are not what the <img> tag is meant for. The tag is meant to display images that are content on the page. In your case, the images are stylistic elements of the page and therefore belong in the CSS, i.e. as background images.
Placing the images instead inside the CSS, as background images, should also alleviate your IE concerns:
h2#weblog { background: url(images/weblog.png) right no-repeat }
As far as a resource that will let you know of IE headaches, I find that QuirksMode gives a good overview of the problems involved in IE, as well as some insight into how to fix them.
