[Solved] Animation in Emails

Michael_Grumbac · 05-23-2008, 09:45 AM

Hi,

I'd like to animate an electronic signature in all my emials.
What applications or software will I be using to do this.

Thanks,
Mike

just make sure you have html turned on in the emails then insert the animation. Some email clients. However, the recipient must also have html turned on in order to see those animations. Most security conscience users will have html turned off.

What email client are you using? you may be able to create a signature and have it automatically add it to your emails.

I'm using Outlook.
It has an application to add an electronic signature.
But I want to add a little picture that will rotate slowly, in 3D.
I don't think Outlook has an app for this.(?)

how about you create a animated gif file yourself?

That's what I want to do.
Right now, I have Paint (in Windows).
But if there's a way to animate in Paint, I'm all ears.
I'm really not trying to be sarcastic.
I just don't know what apps to use for this purpose.
