Outlook issues
Unfortunately Outlook by default does not support background images. For our email templates we add some code that Outlook can read and understand, which means that now can display the background images. The bad news is that Mailchimp and Stampeady cannot read this part of code so when you update a background image using these email services Outlook will still display the default background images. On the following screenshot you can see which part of code you should update manually by editing the HTML through an HTML editor. As you notice, you should do that twice. One for Outlook desktop version for Windows and one more for Outlook.com which is the web version of Outlook.
