We can't use .plan files at my site since the mail machine is separate 
from those holding our unix accounts.  However, I think you just need to 
rename the vt file into ".plan" using:

unix% mv animation.vt .plan

If you want to keep bits of the old .plan and have the animation before 
it or afterwards, then try

unix% mv .plan temp.plan
unix% cat animation.vt temp.plan > .plan
unix% rm temp.plan

Which puts the animation first.

They can, but those I've tried (sending them to myself) need you to press 
space in my mail reader because it waits at the end of every screenful.
What I can do, though, is to press space a number of times and it works fine
except the scrambled "-More-" messages on the left of the screen.
