How to Animate Your Signature in Yahoo!
Yahoo! Mail offers the option to add a signature to your email. This signature will display at the bottom of each email you send out, making it a possible place to advertise your business, include extra information about yourself, or add links to your social networking accounts, among other things. Including an animation in your Yahoo! signature can help it stand out when recipients are looking at your email. However, displaying an animation in your signature requires that you host the animation online and then add it to your signature using a simple code.
