Manage Email Signatures centrally from your Desktop - For All Users

I have an old Outlook email that has a cool signature that I would like to modify and use. It is fairly simple, but has text and a line that scrolls in from either side when you open the email. I can make an HTML signature that has scrolling text, but it is very jerky as it moves. This signature has a very very smooth scrolling effect. I have tried many different things to modify the text and make this my own signature, but I cant seem to figure it out. It's wierd, I can edit the signature and the preview in signature chooser looks ok, but when I send an email to myself, I just see boxes with "X" in it, so missing images I would think, but the HTML code does not refer to images. Here's the source code for an email with this signature at the bottom:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">

Your HTML is using MARQUEE (scrolling) HTML tag which is not supported in Outlook 2007 and 2010 email clients - and other major email clients.

I have run your design through our Health Check Service, and the results are;

It's not recommended to use MARQUEE - or any non supported HTML tag - which does not show correct in recipients in-boxes. Get inspiration here (gallery).

If you still want assistance to fix the issues in your "old" Outlook (knowing that your recipients are only using those two clients), please forward your Cockpit log file.

Thanks.
