Lotus Notes help - animated gifs

Can anyone help me to insert an animated gif into my email through Lotus Notes? I hate the blasted program - more used to Outlook. We're using R5 here at work.

Thanks!

Considering the sparsity of messages I recieve from colleagues who are stuck with communication via LotusNotes, I have to wonder if that's even POSSIBLE!

I figured it out! While in the body of your message, click on "Create" in the tool bar, choose "Picture". Click on the drop down menu and choose "gif", then find your image and click "Import".

Did I mention I hate Lotus Notes? LOL!

it is EASY ! go to INSERT Picture, find where you stored your GIF, and click on OPEN it should appear where ever you left your cursor in the Lotus Notes. The only thing you can not do with Notes verse Outlook, is in Outlook you can insert an audio to play where the reciever opens that specfic email..you can not do that in Lotus Notes. and BTW,I am not an IT tech, but a user...learn by mistakes I say !
