How do I make a background image show up behind the text of an email?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

I have created an email with a background picture and saved it as a Template and as a Theme. When I send it to a different email server like Gmail or Yahoo the picture shows up above the text. How can I make it show up as a watermark behind the text? I have it set to behind text in the word wrap section already.
