Is there any WORKING example of an email that will show a background image?

Even "bulletproof" VML solutions won't really work, ex:

• https://codepen.io/palak-tal/pen/eYWggYa
• How make background image on newsletter in outlook?

Tried, VML, img tags, background images on different tags, svg, nothing seems to really work for Outlook Desktop.

For the record, background images will work anywhere but Outloook Desktop client (gmail, outlook web/mobile, etc).

Thanks.

Word renders HTML images in Outlook, and it does not support background images. Try to create a table that takes the whole client area and specify a background image for that table.

The background-image CSS property is not supported by the Word editor in Outlook. You can read more about supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties in the Word HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook article.
