AOL and background-image in a <style> tag

This issue appears to have resurfaced, pretty much verbatim as described in the previous thread. Our background images are not functioning properly in AOL, with only the "background=" html tag working. This isn't tenable, as Samsung's browser only reads the "background=" tag, so I'm left with a mobile and desktop mail client that are reading the same tag when I need different images delivered.

Could it be related to this instead? AOL now uses Yahoo's parsing engine since july 2018, so every Yahoo bug now applies for AOL users as well.

It doesn't seem like it. I tried stripping out spaces before my !important tags and I'm not seeing improvement. Important to note that Yahoo displays my background image fine, but I can only get either Samsung or AOL to display it properly.

I may have misdiagnosed this somewhat. As recently as last Friday I got a test e-mail to have garbled <a href> in my <style>. But it does seem that Samsung and AOL only read whatever is inline. Attempts to override using anything in a <style> tag seems futile, !important or not.

Could you share a code example?

Ah yeah we're seeing this too.

It's only on backgrounds images in embedded <style> tags, inline style="" backgrounds are working ok.

Sames code samples as before are showing same results - #2

Ha, I see it now. I'll close this issue and reopen the old one. Thank you both for your help.
