Big or small, the space bar animations just don't work for me.  A fellow
sent me an altered version of the small one I had tried, altered by
adding a whole lot of frames. I gather that it worked for him. But all
that happened here was that a whole lot of frames whooshed by and sent
me to the next e-mail in the in-box. So I have to agree that the Java
scripted ones work the best by far.

You're right. It's a shame that Mac/IBM/Microsoft Explorer are so busy
competing and insulting each other that they can't see the merits of
making themselves compatible with each other.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
