I would have never upgraded to outlook 2007 if I had known you disabled
animated gifs. If it's for security reasons, I am willing to risk it. It
should be up to the user to decide. Just put in an option the enable or
disable animated gifs.

Try this,

open the email, then under the Other actions, click view in Browser. This
will open the email in your
browser and the gif should animate.

I disable them because I don't like them. If you want them back, tough
beans. I will not re-enable them. :D

Upgraded from WHAT prior version of Outlook? What prior version of Outlook
did you use before that allowed the .gif to script through its series of
frames to show you the animation?

So what's so hard about opening the .gif attachment and then viewing it?
Remember that the *primary* customer of Microsoft for its Office suites are
corporations, not consumers. Corporations were not clamoring for their
employees to waste time to watch cutsy or pornographic animated images while
at work. Stop confusing an e-mail client with a web browser. Just because
the e-mail client displays HTML-formatted messages does NOT mean that the
e-mail client is the equivalent to a web browser. There is *lots* of HTML
content that your e-mail will not render that the sender chose to put in
their HTML-formatted messages.

So have you yet tried using the Internet view to display an e-mail that
contains a .gif image? Or read:

Oh, I thought you wanted help on how to run the .gif through its frames to
play its mini-movie. Guess not. A suggestion is NOT a question.

I don't use pornographic gifs. We use gifs to dress up announcements and
maybe brighten someones day. It's kinda useless if you have to open the gif
in another window. My point is that it should be up to the user if they want
to disable animated gifs. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean
everyone has to have it your way.
