RecieveGif can only save as bmp

[PAt]

I had the same problem with IE, I looked the problem up
and fixed it. But I can find no fix for outlook e-mail msgs
I get a gif file and will only save as BMP. i f I add
another extension to it like Gif for an animated gif
it will not be an animated gif.

You can use this code to create a macro that will do it for you. Funny that
you mention it as I'm going to issue a newsletter about this tomorrow with
step by step details.

Sub SaveAttachment()
Dim objCurrentItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim colAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objAttachment As Outlook.Attachment

Set objCurrentItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
Set colAttachments = objCurrentItem.Attachments
Set strFolderpath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

For Each objAttachment In colAttachments
objAttachment.SaveAsFile (strFolderpath.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\" &
objAttachment.FileName)
Next

Set objAttachment = Nothing
Set colAttachments = Nothing
objCurrentItem.Close (olDiscard)
Set objCurrentItem = Nothing

End Sub
