i made 3 newsletters for someone, nonadult stuff, so she wanted to have small animation of some text included... i wanted to ask you designers, for that animation, you dont put a .swf cause outlook does not allow that kind of object insertion in an email... something like that... you use animated gif right?

ive received emails that include .swf in them and outlook gave me some activex eror and did not display the .swf...

.gif is best because it's identifyed in all formats. I'm a Photoshop kindda guy so naturally I use ImageReady that comes with PS. A .swf is not always identified in some formats, mostly computers that do not use ShockWave and people dont seem all that happy having to go through all the install process. I've been in Graphic Arts for a long time and .gif does it for me. You can find lots of programs that make the process very easy and user friendly, ImageReady is a bit more technical, but I like it.
Google for GIF CREATION, there will be no shortage of programs that will help you.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
