    I just ran a test (using CM testing tool) to see if you should overlay images with HTML text in email. Land’s End recently started using this technique to fight image suppression (before all their text was image based) and I imagine lots of other retailers will soon follow suit.

    Anyway you can check out the results on my blog and view examples - if you’re too busy the main hold out was Outlook 2007, it dumped the underlining image altogether. If anyone has a work around let me know.

    Anna,
    Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 doesn’t support background images; there isn’t a way to work around it.

    Thanks Diana,

    I guess if you want to use this technique you should run a test using Fingerprint to see how many of your subscribers use Outlook 2007.... then design accordingly.
