"Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. And now we see that I have my clown animation file and we can see here, now that it, once it's in the Outlook program, now it's in its full features of the animation. We see it changing and that's how it's going to look in our email. So, I'm going to click 'okay' and now we see that in the signatures area we have a 'signature for new message', messages is going to be clown animation. Now there's also a box here that says, 'Signatures for replies and forwards'. That is emails that we either reply back to someone or an email that we received and we want to send it to someone else. We want to forward it to somebody. So, this gives you, it separates the two options because obviously, when you're sending a new email from yourself, you would want to include your signature. But if you're replying, which means that the person already saw your signature, and in this case it's an animation, we might not want to keep sending the same picture over and over again. And of course, if we're forwarding an email, the information did not originally come from us so we might not want to put our signature in a email that originated from somewhere else, that we're just forwarding to someone. So, we can go ahead and we could either turn on the animation. And keep in mind that we can also, and since there, we only have one animation created, but keep in mind for replies and forwards you can create a different signature, and you can put that into the, into this box and you would just select that and that would be your signature for replies and forwards. But I'm going to keep it at 'none' and I'm going to hit 'apply' and 'okay'. Now when I go ahead and click on 'new'. So we see our, our gif. image appears and this is going to be the image that's going to be sent in every new email. It will appear in the bottom of my email as my signature and we can just go ahead and start typing text into the email and it just moves down and will always be placed at the bottom of the email."
