    Hi folks:

    I probably used the wrong name for by subject - oh well !

    Here are the details:

    1. We receive a nice e-mail. It has sound, great fonts and a animated
    background. (Stars that sorta dance around.)

    2. We do a right click and save the background.

    3. We create new mail and format using that saved background.

    4. We get the star pattern just fine - but no animation.

    What happened ? We do a source check character by character and find no difference between the static and the moving.

    It is a mystery to me. What do we do to animate the background ?

    Any comments appreciated.

    Thanks

    Outlook Express background problem

    Hey folks:

    Forget we ever posted such as we did.

    We ain't stupid, we just don't think straight at times.

    There is not a problem here that has anything whatsoever
    to do with Outlook Express.

    The background saved just fine - as a bmp graphics file.

    That is what it is supposed to do.

    If we want animation we have to convert it to a gif file.
    To do so requires a gif animator program.

    We have one and can fix.

    Sorry my mind went off the deep end - it would help if I thought things through before yelling for assistance.

    Thanks
