Change background color of table

I can not change the background color of the table when I create an email.

Unfortunately that option is not there through the menu.

There are two ways to do it though:

  1. Paste an already formatted table from another application.
  2. Edit the html of the message. 

To edit the html in eM Client, after creating the table in the new message, right-click in the message body and choose Edit Source. Then you can insert the bgcolor value into the table or cell tag. 

For the whole table, you want to insert the value in the

tag, so something like

bgcolor="#00FF00" border=“1” align=“default” cellpadding=“2”>. For individual cells, you want to insert the value in the tag, so | for that cell.
