Bullet Proof Buttons on Images - Good or Evil?

I'm converted on need for bullet proof buttons. What's best practice on laying them on top of images?
If good - than - how?
Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no way I've seen of nesting VML so you can't have a vml button on a vml background. So I would say you have 2 choices.

Use a vml background and a solid colour button (done with borders on the <a> tag)
Use a vml button and background-image then fall back to a solid colour background in outlook

Thanks Mark, appreciate your answer. Trying out option one today.

No worries.
Here's a couple of buttons I built the other day which might be useful
