    Hi there:

    OK, all you Outlook Express experts - How do we do this ?

    1. We been using Outlook express and can do great e-mails with backgrounds, music etc.
    However we just got an e-mail that had a background (and background grapic) that did not move. The text "scrolled" but the background stayed put.

    So, how do you do that ?

    2. We got an e-mail that had a graphic - it seems to be an "applet" . The waterfall seems to move. Much like a java script applet.
    We did not know you could do an applet via e-mail. But someone just did !
    How can we do that ?

    Thanks a much !

    Moving pictures in e-mail

    Ok you guys:

    I got 60 reads and no responces.
    Therefore we had to do our own problem solving.

    As to the moving pictures we get in our e-mails:
    1. First we had to solve the "Right Click and Save As" problem.
    Because all we got was one choice - to save as BMP.
    After almost a year living with that problem, someone finally suggested we install CCleaner. (You can too - go to ccleaner.com).
    And once that solved the BMP problem, we discovered the graphic was not an "Applet" as it seemed to be - but a simple 4 frame GIF file.
    What really fooled me was: It was not "Clip Art" animation, but was animation of water in a fine art landscape picture.

    2. Now, we are still working on the other seemingly e-mail impossibality.
    That is where the backgrounf is just plain OE color.
    Yet a graphic of a smiley face is layered on top of it.
    And text is in place. (not plain, but HTML)
    Using the scroll bar, the text scrolls but the "graphic stays stationary ".
    Normal e-mail scroll in OE also scrolls the background graphic.
    This one did not.
    Any ideas ?
