Support for animated GIFs in email
Generally, GIFs are well supported by all most clients. There are some exceptions, the major one being Microsoft Outlook.
In Outlook, only the first frame displays, which means that, if your animation contains any important information, it has to feature on the first frame or risk being lost.
