gif animation in email

Actually, you have to turn on HTML in Outlook. Go to "Tools->Options->Mail Format" to change messages to HTML. Then, you can go to the signature field down below and insert an animated GIF (or you can manually insert it when you create the email).
Just keep in mind that only recipients that use HTML-compatible email clients will be able to see the GIF. Also, some animated GIF's can easily take up several hundred KB of space. A lot of people, including myself, don't like to run out of space in our inboxes (which would happen if everyone started sending animated GIF's).
