In Outlook 2010 you can assign any picture as the background to an email.
You should use this feature with caution, of course, since it will increase the size of the email and if you choose a really obnoxious image it will also annoy whoever you are sending the email to.
Note: This feature is different from the Stationery feature in Outlook, which we’ll cover at another time.
1. Open up a new email, click on the Options tab and then the Page Color drop-down button, and then the Fill Effects item at the bottom of the menu.
2. You can use the Textures or Patterns on the various tabs if you like, although none of them are that great.
3. Or you can choose a particular picture from the Picture tab by using the Select Picture button to browse and find a file. You’ll want to make sure to choose an image that can be tiled, and also make sure that it’s small since it’s going to be included in the email.
4. you want to choose a background image that can tile and is either mostly dark or mostly light colored.
5. you should always use this feature with caution. Nobody wants to get some gigantic picture as the background image for an email.

That is a good tip, but the image is tiled in the email.
Is there a way to avoid the tiling – I could not find it.
Thanks
Just click on new email,then click on insert tab, then click on picture
