Is VML tag support removed from outlook 2016 for emails?

[neerajkumar21]

Hi,

I'm an email developer and I've noticed that background images created by vml tags like "v:background, v:rect & v:fill" for email is no longer showing from yesterday onwards for outlook 2016 (Windows 10).

Please find the code below or go to this https://backgrounds.cm/ for code reference:

<div style="background-color:#7bceeb;">

  <!--[if gte mso 9]>

  <v:background xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" fill="t">

    <v:fill type="tile" src="https://i.imgur.com/YJOX1PC.png" color="#7bceeb"/>

  </v:background>

  <![endif]-->

  <table height="100%" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

    <tr>

      <td valign="top" align="left" background="https://i.imgur.com/YJOX1PC.png">

                 Content goes here...

      </td>

    </tr>

  </table>

</div>

Is anyone please confirm if outlook drops supports for vml tags or make any type of changes in it ? 

Any helps would really appreciate.

Thanks,

Neeraj Kumar
