Background image in Html Table for Email Template

i am using background image in html email template, problem is this

<table style="background:url('http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag41/Sikander_Nawaz/images_zpsa0d64d23.jpg')  repeat;

background-size: 100%;

Well, how to add background image in html email. Asuming your doctype is html 4.

<table background="your-image.gif">

If you define the scope of accessibility/visibility of your html email, it will help others suggest you a better solution.

If your email is going to be only on web browser, then you can use .css.

For all of these clients [listed on wikipedia], the concept of "HTML support" does not mean that they can process the full range of HTML that a web browser can handle. Almost all email readers limit HTML features, either for security reasons, or because of the nature of the interface. CSS and JavaScript can be especially problematic. A number of articles describe these limitations per-email-client.
