Hopefully to make matters a little easier on the folks like Me that Want
Animation in my emails I have a question please.
Can I go to Outlook Express from Office Outlook 2007? In other words can I
download Outlook Express and run it instead of the My Office 2007 Outlook?
Will that solve the problem of not having animations (GIF files)?

Any other solutions offered would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook Express is a completely separate mail application and is already on
your computer. You cannot directly open Outlook emails from within OE.

Anyway, open your message in the browser to see the animation.

Robert,
While I appreciate your reply I don't have Outlook Express on my computer. I
just got the computer new as a gift in October and it came with Vista
Preloaded. I then installed Office 2007 on it. I make my own Animated, Sound
Cards for my family and friends so this is why I want these features so
badly. I have searched and I cannot find the answer of being able ot go
backwards to Outlook Express. Perhaps you would be more knowledgeable about
where to find this out?
Thank You

Windows Mail is the successor of Outlook Express on Windows Vista which is
on your system by default. Windows Live Mail can be downloaded which is a
separate mail client as well but can be seen as a further developed version
of Windows Mail.

You should be able to import your mail data directly into Windows Mail.
File>Import>Messages>Microsoft Outlook.  File>Import>Other Address Book>Text
File (CSV) for the contacts (which you will have to export to a CSV in
Outlook first).

unless your friends and family uses a mail client that supports animation
and sound, they won't see it.

You Think?

LOL Just kidding.

Robert, pointed me in the right direction with Windows Mail, God Bless his
heart. Now if I can figure out how to transfer all of the information form
Outlook to the Windows Mail I will have it made.
