I think you have to use HTML formatting.

Search for a guy called mikeyhsd in
news://microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

He has a scrolling sig banner in his posts.

Actually, I looked at the source of his post and it seems to have been done
in HTML itself, and not by using an animated GIF.

I suggest you look into the source for any HTML promotional email/spam you
get that has animated graphics, and see how they did it. I suspect they
will be formatted with HTML like a webpage and the graphic will be based on
a webserver, rather than embedded in the email.

Animated gifs work fine. The limitation is that the sender won't see the
animation, only the recipient.

Except if the recipient is using Outlook 2007, which doesn't support GIF animations.
