I'm using Entourage X. I received an attachment with an animated gif, and it
animates in Entourage, i.e. I open the received message and can watch the
animation.
I forwarded this message to myself and it arrived with two jpegs attached.
These appear to be two frames from the 30 stored in the gif.
I then saved the attachment from the original message onto the desktop, and
opened it in Preview, and I can open the drawer and see that there are 30
frames.
I created a new message, attached this file, and sent it to myself and it
arrived with the gif intact, but the gif doesn't animate in Entourage (and
the image is much smaller than it is in the original email). I can, however,
save this attachment and view it in another programme, which is a better
result than when I just attempted to forward the original message to myself.
I wondered if opening the gif in Preview, which doesn't actually _play_ gifs
(you have to manually scroll through the frames), had broken the animation
so I resaved the attachment and sent it to myself again without first
opening it Preview, but it made no difference.
Is there some way to forward this message such the the recipient will see
the animation?
