Hi Everyone,
I am noticing that Outlook is very slow to open emails with background images which are placed into the body tag of a message. Usually when I create an email marketing campaign I give my email message a background picture by placing markup similar to the following into the body tag;
<body style="background-image: url('http://myserver/somepicture.jpg');>
Traditionally this has been fine, however over the last day I have noticed that Outlook takes a very long time to open these kinds of messages. I have had a look through my old email campaigns, and much to my surprise I have found messages which opened fine six months ago taking a long time to open.
This issue is happening on more than just my computer, as I have asked staff & customers about their Outlook experience, and some have even reported a complete crash of Outlook.
I am using Outlook 2010, however I think that Outlook 2007 is also being affected.
If anybody has any ideas on how I can fix this they will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
