DHTML Email Signatures

[Peyotepipesmoker]

Greetings,

I've been on the hunt for an email signature that basically, upon opening of the email, my signature would bounce up from the bottom of the page. Long ago i had come across this and used. Now i've lost it and cannot seem to find this type. I am a total noob to encoding/coding! At the moment, my work is using Outlook 2003. I have about 4 lines of text that i am wanting to bounce. Is there anyone that can help me on this! Or shoot me in the right direction!? Any information is much appreciated!!

Regards,
Peyote

I should just mention here... it's not a good idea to send HTML email.

Even if its just an email signature thats created in DHTML?

[Twey]

Yes, any HTML in the message requires that the Content-Type header must be text/html, thus rendering the whole message as HTML.

ahhh.ok..Why is it bad to send email in HTML? Is one open to malicious attacks?

Read the above link. It mentions copious reasons not to use HTML email, of which potential exploitable holes are but one.
