You DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe Mozilla intentionally does not allow the <blink> tag. Which is a great thing because it's was one of the worst idea for an html tag EVER! Nobody, I mean NOBODY has ever liked seeing blinking text. The only reason to ever use it would be if you wanted to be 100% sure that your messge would not be read and would be deleted as soon as humanly possible.
Friends don't let friends use blink tags. Don't do it man. You're better than that.

Take his advice and don't do it. If I received an email like that, it wouldn't make it through the first blink before being deleted.  | |

What kills me is that you guys are bashing blink tags, then you fill your messages with these annoying things: 
IMHO, they're just as bad....

Number one, you can disable your browser from displaying images if you really don't like them so much. Number two, they are pictures!!! You don't have to attempt to read them as they are turning on, off, on, off, on, off.....

Exactly! It's like trying to read a book in a room with a strobe light. Try it some time

I think everyone should be tied to a blinking neon sign, facing the tubes, and they have to sleep there all night.
