I would like to know how to make my words scroll and jump up and down in emails that i send to other people.

There was a formula that i used that i researched on the internet, but when i put my message in the text and sent it to another person, nothing happen.

If you know, please help me to make my words scroll, and jump up and down in my emails.

Thanks In Advance

I use html in my emails sometimes, which sometimes lets you use css and JavaScript. HTML also has the marquee tag, which lets text scroll and bounce, if it's supported. However, this support must be supplied by the recipient's email application's viewer/browser. If they only read text, they don't see the extras, and may not see anything. If you know what the recipient's capabilities are, you can use them, once you figure out how to send it properly...

Most programs will send both text and html in the same email, so older viewers will see something, hopefully, and modern ones will see the html version. However, they usually default to editing with WYSIWYG rather than raw html source. In Outlook, I use the Source Editor, usually an option in the View menu, which gives tabs for regular editing, html source editing, and a preview of how it looks in Outlook. I haven't tried this in other email programs, though I've heard some switch to html mode if the email you type starts with <html> or some other code it understands. I think there's a plugin for Thunderbird.
