It depends what tool you're using to view them in as to whether they're animated or not.

Got some new one:

Its easier than that. Just change the format of the email you are sending to HTML (you may have to change it to Plain Text first), right click on the icon you want, choose copy and then paste it into the email.

It is worth bearing in mind that the recipient will only see the icon if both theirs and your Service Provider support HTML emails

Just don't send it to tens of thousands of people as it might still serve it from the web (bandwidth theft!)

Giles,

You may find that they are staic if you open them in the Mircosoft Picture viewer thingy that came with Windows ME (if thats what your using) don't think it's in 2000, not in mine anyway! Try opening them in Internet Explorer or Netscape! Any GIF editor or viewer should be OK as well! Anyone got any more ideas??
Sorry if i put anyone to

the thing i always do if i want to copy a funny smile into a email is like this:
i just hold down the mousebutton and drag it over the smile (now you see that the smile gets a blue layer over it) and press the right mouse button and choose copy, in the email i just press the right mouse button again to paste it. (you can also change the right mouse button thingy by ctrl+c and ctrl+v)
