Animated Graphics don't Move

Sometimes people send me e-mails with embedded animated gif's in them. When
I try to view these graphics at work using Outlook, nothing happens. When I
send them to my house (still using Outlook), I can view the animation.

Where do they hide the setting that allows you to view animated graphics?

Thanks,

Fred

Current Outlook versions don't support viewing animated graphics, thank
goodness.
 
Hmmm . . . That's interesting, since I'm using the same version of Outlook on
both machines, and they work on one and not on the other.
 
Idaho,

While new Outlook 2007 doesn't support .gifs period. Older versions do
support .gifs, but only if the email is composed in HTML. For Outlook 2007
you can use a handy macro written by Outlook MVP Robert Sparnaaij to view an
HTML email in the browser of your choice (Firefox, IE, etc...). You can see
how to use the macro at Robert's website:
