Hi Patrick!

Create a new mail message. Make sure Format --> HTML is selected. Then
select Message --> Insert --> Background Picture...

Hope this helps!

Bill,

Thank you for your answer. The size of the pictures ar I am trying to insert
is aproximately 4MB. I followed your instructions and still does not work.
Is there any limitations in the size or type of file Entourage can process?

One again thank you for your time

Patrick

Hi Patrick!

Yes, Entourage does have a size limit of 400k for jpeg images.

Why are you trying to use a 4MB file as a background image? That's
*huge*! I have no idea who you're sending to but if it were my work
account then your message would take 4% of my 100MB mailbox quota and if
it were a dial-up account then I'd be waiting a few minutes just for
your message to download. And I wouldn't be able to download other
messages that follow yours until yours was complete.

Unless you have an absolute need to have a background then I suggest
always using *plain text* over *html*. Plain text is about 1/4 the size
of HTML, which makes it faster to deliver and receive.

Again, I don't know your intended recipients but do consider their
E-mail limitations.

Hope this helps!

The examples that were provided by Microsoft were from 4-56 KB. I have
uploaded them here. Use them as an example of how to create your own.

I expect at some time we will see them again on Mactopia when they are
updated.
