Send email as html with embedded images as background

Question

I am trying to send email as html with embedded images (not attachment) and as background. I was trying to use Xpert Mailer but their documantion has small amount of information so I didnt succeed.

I was also trying to use Swiftmailer, with Swiftmailer I succeed to send email with embedded images but not as background.

Anyone has any clue how to send embbed images as background / has good PHP Email Sender?

Thanks!

Don't know about the apps you're using but this can be done by embedding the images in base64 format, looks like this:

<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhUAABLABLAMOREBASE64HERE">

Quick google search shows the following converter site: click
