@Funky, Setting an image as the background in an HTML email is not the best solution as some email clients won’t display it correctly. To fix the padding issue, set display:block in your image styles

thought I would mention.. when using an image in a TD by itself, the TD automagically resizes in gmail for some reason, giving it an illusion of padding after the image. I was able to fix this by setting the background attribute of the TD to the image’s url, instead of placing the image in an img element.

@Andy,

Glad it worked out for you. HTML emails are quite the flashback, that’s for sure.

If you’ll add style=”display:block” to your img tags it should solve the extra space issue in Gmail. Worked for me at least.

Hi Ben & Stan!

What’s that TAG you couldn’t think of?
The supplied link is being redirected and myself is getting mad to solve this padding Gmail problem.

Thanx in advance for the reply and the mighty marvellous work shown here about the fascinating HTML email world.
