For the first time I'm coding an HTML letter. In parallel, I read articles from Habr.
They write that mail clients cut out the url attribute.

You need to place an image in the background of the header.

How to proceed?

I see an option:
Two blocks/tables with absolute positioning and z-index. Picture in the bottom block.

Will it work?

Perhaps other options?

www.campaignmonitor.com/css/ is a very useful table.
www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/3170/adding-background-images-to-your-email-in-two-simple-steps/ - used to work, now probably too.

Let it be late, but I will answer. Background images should be avoided. Insert graphics via img. Forget the position property. But from February 1 of this year, background pictures began to work in gmail, but they still do not work in ms outlook too

Tell me, what are you typing the letter in? Instead of background images, it is better to use a fill with the insertion of graphic elements.
