OK well i hope we can help you satisfy your wife...

My previous advice was to look at kmail's html mail templates, but a bit
of googling reveals that a common complaint in kmail reviews is the lack
of templates. This may be because the developers are probably true geeks
who appreciate the more correct advice that email is a text....ok been
there done that.

I guess you are probably stuck with putting in the (fairly minimal) html
code for the background image with each email, and/or calling an
external editor.

Have you done as I suggested and looked at the source file of an outlook
email with a background of the sort the missus wants?
