My workstation at work just got upgraded from Outlook 2003 to 2007 and I
noticed that animated gif's no longer animate. How can I enable that? I
not only want to seem them animating but when I send one to a coworker I
want to make sure they animate correctly when they view them too.

TIA

Microsoft in all its usual arrogance has decided you don't really need to see
animated gifs. MS can put all kinds for filters for all other kinds of email
and picture displays, but some deckhead on the development team decided to
make it hard to view animated gifs. They should have a pop up that tells you
there is an animated gif and let's you decide if you want to view it by
clicking a button (or bar). Just like everything else that is blocked by
Outlook and IE.

But in answer to your question, open the email, then under the Message
tab/Other actions, click view in Browser. This will open the email in your
browser and the gif should animate.

Just to be pedantic...

"Microsoft in all its usual arrogance has decided you don't really need to
see animated gifs"

does not jibe with

"They should have a pop up that tells you there is an animated gif and let's
you decide if you want to view it by clicking a button (or bar). Just like
everything else that is blocked by Outlook and IE."

I mean, if the arrogance was usual, then you wouldn't be able to see anything
that's blocked in Outlook or IE.

Might it be a questionable decision? Sure. I can see how it's a questionable
decision.

Does that make your comment any more correct? Nope.

NOT HAPPY! Only if there is a solution to solve the issue! Will be happy to
go back to outlook 2003! Frankly, Outlook 2007 not only much slower, there
its to me a downgrade! Half the time it makes the hard disk work....

Peter,

Animated GIFs are a MASSIVE security hole. Once this security hole was
discovered a number of years ago, MOST software manufacturers removed the
ability to view animated GIFs.

If you *REALLY* want to view animated GIFs, then install an old version of a
picture viewer program like ACDSee... which have not been secured and
probably (and unfortunately) will still view animated GIFs.

Please be happy that your PC has one less security hole in it!!

Cheers, Glen

What security risk do animated GIF's present. All they are is a picture
file. It doesn't execute any code. Just loops on the same embedded images.

If it's a security risk then why is it still enabled in MS Picture
Viewer, MS IE 7, and pretty much every other web browser.

Right you are, Chuck! And if it was really a security issue, why would they
have 'View eMail in browser' designed in?

Outlook 2007 uses the rendering engine of Word 2007. As it is now, Word 2007
does not support animated gifs. Only the first frame of the animated image
will be displayed.

http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/...ted-gifs-in-h/

A raise in price and reduction of features just another example of a
maturing monopoly. Ever try to send/receive a fax from Vista? It's been a
standard in all of the windows releases until Vista. Don't bother now though,
unless you have Vista Ultimate. I'm sure this isn't the end of it, either
Watch for less to come....
