Compose the email as HTML and use the <embed> command?

Only works however if the recipient is set up to accept HTML emails though.

Why not make an animated gif of the first few frames, and have that as a link?

im pretty sure what u saw was a GIF to be honest! frame by frame

90% sure it was a gif, but then again macs can send emails with .mov and 3gp files on them playing so never know, like mentioned you can embed it, but they have to have HTMl set-up 99% it is already set up

vidal can i ask you a question please do you prononce your name as in Vi-dal or ve-dal

[vidal]

Pronunciation is however you like, although it should be Vi-dal to rhyme with eye.
