Please don't.

That kind of stuff wastes bandwidth and
most people find it extremely annoying.

Your question has nothing to do with the XP OS. Suggest you post to the
forum where you want to do this or check on the avartar web site or in the
program help files.

The X-Face header is what you're looking for, though it's a bitmap of 2-bit
color depth, not a flash animation.

Most clients support this feature. OL, OE and Google Groups don't seem to
support them; I leave it as an excersize to the reader to decide if those
even qualify as news clients since none of those three meet Good Netkeeping
Seal of Approval guidelines for basic newsreader functionality.

Any reader that ignores that crap he's trying to do
gets my thumbs up...

In clients that do support them, it's configurable whether or not they get
displayed, with the default being "off." One should not give thumbs up to
software that is almost entirely, but not completely, unlike what it is
supposed to be. OE and OL get that point right, but it doesn't mean that
they get the rest right by any reasonable estimation.
