Can you attach an .swf file to an email?

Is it possible to attach a file to an email?

Thanks
Danny

I've tried to attach the file but it's not working.

If you mean a standard E-mail it is possible I just sent a test message/attachment to myself and it worked. What part of the process are you failing at?

Having the content actually show up in the email itself.

I can email the file but I can't get the animation to show up in the message.

Does that make sense?

That's more a function of the person's email client than anything else, really.

Potentially if you sent HTML mail and manually tweaked the HTML to include the regular flash tags, it might work for some people (like, people using Outlook or Outlook Express). There's also the possibility of an email client that would detect that the file attached is flash and then automatically display it, the way that images are displayed. I don't know of any email clients that would do that, though.

Presumably if it were possible, some small portion of the hundreds of spam messages I get a day would be utilizing flash somehow, since their ads might end up being smaller or something.
