It depends on the file size.

I hate images in sigs altogether, but if you're doing line art or something else than PNG is good for, then by all means use PNG over GIF. It's when you're using PNG and you should be using JPEG that there are problems.

You're an idiot. Because internet explorer does not fully support the PNG standard does not mean that it does not exist.

PNG specification.

It would make so many things easier for web designers if Microsoft would implement PNGs fully. Mmmm alpha-blending!
