MIME email = Content-ID in CSS not supported

Hello,
I am trying to send MIME type email with in message image
attachments. It works OK when doing

<img src="cid:specialcode">

....but it does not work in this <div
style="background:url(cid:specialcode)">

I am trying to have fading background, is there any way I can achieve
this without using IMG tag?

Thank you,
Martin

I was just looking at exactly this last week. Unfortatly, AFAIK, there
is no way to do this reliably. I'm not even sure *any* of the major
email clients support it :(

Certainly I could not get Thunderbird to do it.

I found this which is some good, general info for using CSS in mime
emails:
