Surley this is not too hard to fix!

To my knowledge, this has been intentionally disabled for security
reasons. There will be no "fix" for this.

That is a pitty.
Could they not just have a tick box that if we trust the sender it would
allow them? It should be up to the user to decide. It works fine for me on
2003 outlook with no risks. There are several other features which I do like
like and the benifits to revert back are not enough. So what is the problem
to allow the Gifs if some one wants them?

If everybody would keep their software (operating system and
applications) up-to-date with security updates, such steps at the
application level wouldn't be necessary. It is, however, very
unfortunate that large portions of Windows users do not keep their
software up-to-date, so I cannot help but agree with Microsoft to
disable security risks at every possible level.

Word doesn't render animated gifs and its used as the rendering engine in
outlook. AFAIK, it will not be "fixed", especially in current versions. Word
has never rendered ani's to the best of my recollection.

Well I do keep my antivirus and all other updates UP TO Date.
As for the discission by some to arbitrariry mandate that all Animated GIFS
are blocked, I think that is a little bit buricratic and narrow minded of
some individuals to make that call.
I would still plead my case that if I am willing to trust a specific sender
to enable thier Gifs or any othetr attachments for that matter, then this
deciscission should be the user? As I SAID earlier, it would not be too hard
ofr someone to produce a tick box so if we didi trust somone to send us a GIF
then we could just tick the box. This could be made in a prompt box each
time if need be, just the saqme way that we are prompted before opening any
attachment, and or even decided if we trust this sender permanently.
As to the use of the ANI Gifs, I happen to enjoy the minute distraction from
an otherwise seemingly too rigid world in the cyber net as it is. So I did
enjoy them and I do NOT agree that it is a good thing to completelhy ban them
altogether, as may the opinion of some individauls. Hopefully the techo's at
Micor Soft will lean on the side of the beifit of the users and build a fix
inot the design soooon please?
Keep on oultooking.

Yes I know that word did not render them, but in the 2003 outlook you could
at least get a smile when you viewed them after somone sent you them or even
when yo sent them to someone else.
Hopefully someone at MS will give us the option to descside id we want them
or not.

That's because Outlook 2003 used Internet Explorer to render HTML messages.
Clearly IE can do that. Now that Word is used to render (and since Word has
never animated GIFs), GIF's don't animate.
They'd have to change Word's behavior then. I can't see that happening.

Thanks Brian,
I am understanding now.
Is or can there be a way of toggeling between the word / HMTL so that we can
choose which one does the rendering?

There is no way to use anything but Word to render HTML in Outlook 2007.

Actually you are incorrect. There is a bit of a workaround. And it
is annoying, but if you absolutely need to open an email with Gifs or
any other animation, it is possible.
Steps:
1. Double click the message in Outlook 2007 to open it in its own
Window.
2. On the "Message" toolbar, in the 2nd section, there is an "Other
Actions" button.
3. In the "Other Actions" drop-down menu, select "View in Browser".

But then you're not rendering the message IN OUTLOOK. You've decided to
render it explicitly in a web browser. So I'm still correct.
