Thanks Les - I much preferred Outlook Express Regards, Maureen -----Original Message----- From: gen-newbie-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gen-newbie-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Les Hardy Sent: Friday, 6 January 2012 6:01 AM To: gen-newbie@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GN] Moving ,gifs Maureen, I don't use Outlook myself, but, as far as I know, Outlook does not play animated GIFs in emails. You need to open the message using 'View in Browser' to see the animation. I believe Microsoft claim this is for security reasons.
