Videos in email...
I've gotten emails in the past that have videos embedded at the bottom of the email. No matter what I search, I keep reading that this is supposedly impossible to do, and obviously they are wrong, because I've seen it with my own eyes. I've sat and watched videos play on my emails!
I want to embed a video from youtube. I can do it through gmail, in a fashion, but it seems to only work with gmail accounts.
Do you know how I do this? Do I have to have a certain type of program, or something?
If it helps, I use Windows XP. The emails I've gotten in the past came through my gmail account, which sends my mail to my Incredimail.
Thanks in advance. :-)

It is possible to put HTML into email, so Youtube embed codes can be used. You'll need to be in the "rich text" or "HTML" mode (the mode which allows formatting), and then figure out how to modify the source. Each mail client does this differently, and many don't even offer the option.
If the video is on Youtube, just use the embed code that Youtube gives you. If it's a video you own, upload it to DivShare and they'll give you a private embed code if your video is in a supported format (run it through Windows Movie Maker if it's not).
Many mail clients will not display embedded content, and some email providers will not allow you to send email with embedded stuff. You should at least include a regular link with the embedded video.
