Question by Makiavel: How do I insert an html file with flash embbeded in an email message?
I’ve tryed 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 misterious ways.

The majority of email clients (and I’m talking close to all of them) will not accept flash or other executable files because of the risk of viruses. In fact, many Anti-Virus applications simply strip the code out and leave you with a blank box instead — which is probably what you’re seeing, and why your code is working in Word, but not when you send it through an email.
You can try to ‘trick’ it by sending the call through an Iframe command instead, but most email clients will also not accept iframe commands because of this same danger.
This holds true for almost all the major email clients — Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc… as well as MacMail, AOL and Webmail based clients such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail…
Bottom line — don’t use Flash in your email.
