: <table background=yourimage.gif style="background-attachment: fixed;
: background-repeat: no-repeat;" border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>

You may prefer to apply the image itself via the style attribute as well.
In some browsers that accept the background= attirbute but not the
background styling, then your image will repeat even though you do not want
it to.

You may not want the background to repeat if it is a non-backgroundish
image: sharp contrast, hard lines, etc.  In this possible case, repeating
could seriously damage the feel of the site, so it may be appropriate to put
the background image in the style tag as well so that it is completely
ignored by those browsers which would ignore the background styling too.
(hopefully)
