Since moving from Outlook Express to Outlook, when sending animated gifs
(inserted) they appear but no longer animate. Email setting is for Rich
Text, is this correct.

Thanks.

Bill.

You must use HTML as the message format.
Note that the gif-file doesn't animate while composing with Word as the
email editor or at all when using Outlook 2007. This doesn't affect the
animated gif itself for the receiver.

Well, unless the recipient is using a mail client that doesn't animate animated

That's what I said ;-)

Many thanks to both you guys

I've just defaulted my email client back to Outlook Express (I like to use
and view animated emoticoms), anyway there is too much happening in Outlook
for just email.

True, if you only want to do email and some contact management Outlook might
be overkill for you ;-)

I'm using Outlook 2003 with Word as my editor using the HTML format. I have
tried inserting or pasting an animated gif. Both show as an attached file?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
