Outlook 2013 VML Problem
Hey everyone
We’re having an issue in Outlook 2013 with the "bulletproof" background image technique in the header of the a template. The template uses http://backgrounds.cm/ and our header can be variable hight depending what content is contained within it.
As you can see the next table row after the header is rendering behind the table row with the VML markup in it in 2013 only and we’ve not been able to figure out how to solve this. Things we’ve tried:
- Adding xmlns:v="..." and xmlns:o="..." along with <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> to the <html> and <head>
- Removing align="..." and valign="..." attributes form the nested tables
- Applying mso-line-height-rule: exactly; to the divs / elements
- Closing the main layout <table>’s and opening new ones after the header row.
Any help at all would be appreciated! Thanks very much.

I would suggest setting a height in the VML. I don't think Outlook likes you having the freedom to put whatever you want in lol.
Just a guess, but you'll be opening up the HTML to add in the new content anyway, so another 5 seconds to set a height in the VML won't be an issue?
Annoying but that's all I can see will help here.
