Animated e-mail

I received an e-mail with a text message and an animated GIF file in the body along with the text.

I can create a html file with text and an animated picture on it, but not just in the body of an e-mail.

Any ideas how that's done?

I'm not sure if this is what you want but I think you need to enable HTML, then create the message body using HTML tags.

The images in that email are probably linked remotely unless they were attachments.

I have found that my free Juno e-mail has an "insert picture" icon and will do the job but Yahoo and Hotmail do not have that option. At least that I can find.

Thanks for the help.

I use Incredimail, which has animated letter backgrounds, and much more. It works on the same principles as Outlook Express. I have never had any reason to complain about it.
