Default How do I insert an html file with flash embbeded in an email message?

Hello there,

I have tried to create a signature in the email Options\Mail Format based on the HTML file and it just doesn't work. The message format is already in HTML. If I open the HTML file in word the flash animation shows just fine. Software moves in mysterious ways.

hi,
You can't send flash by email. Or at least if you do, very few people will be able to see it as Flash is not supported by most email clients.

HTML email is extremely crude. The trick is not to use any techniques which weren't available back in the dark ages of the web. Tables for layout and inline styling are absolutel necessary for HTML emails and modern things, particularly plugins like Flash are not well supported.
