When I find a gif or other animated clip I would like to
add to my outgoing outlook 2000 email, the picture does
not animate.

do I need an add in?

thank you
 
Make sure that you message format is set to HTML and you are not using Word
as your e-mail editor. At this point if memory serves me right, during the
drafting of the message the gif won't look animated but it will once you
send/save it. (try a test message to yourself)
 
I have those settings as you outline but when sending to
myself, no animation either. I even sent it to my AOL
account to see it there, ... no luck.

could it be involved with security settings?

security settings wouldn't effect gifs. however testing through to AOL
account is a bad idea since they are notorious for a proprietary mail system
that does weird stuff to messages. do you have a hotmail or yahoo web mail
account that you can test thru? (or better yet, after sending -- go to your
sent items in outlook and open the item. does gif show your animations?)
