Background image doesn't show up in Gmail

[suavedesign]

I coded an html email, and just tested in Gmail. Everything shows up fine besides for a background image. I put the background image on my wrapper table, like this:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="4px solid grey" align="left"  background="http://www.totalrecallsolutions.com/corporate/email templates/images/appt_reminder_one_bg.jpg">

And still, there is no image showing up in Gmail. I understood from my google searches that this is the correct way to make a background image show up in Gmail. So why is it not showing up?

Thanks!!

Is this the exact code you have used? If yes, then I see that you have left a space after "email" and before "templates."

If no, then your HTML cannot detect the image.
