We use Cute Editor for PHP to build HTML e-mails to send out. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of e-mail clients (Gmail, Outlook 2007, etc.) do not yet support the CSS "background-image" property.

 

When I specify a background image for a table cell in Cute Editor, it uses the CSS "background-image" property, instead of the HTML "background" property. Technically, Cute Editor is correctly using CSS to specify the background image, but this doesn't work in most e-mail clients. Is there any way to make Cute Editor use the HTML "background" property instead?

 

e.g.

 

<td style="background-image: url(http://test.com/image.jpg)">

 

Needs to be this for e-mails:

 

<td background="http://test.com/image.jpg">
