This sounds like a 'Complex HTML' issue. If an email contains complex html (anything more than styled text & inline images - like tables, or frames for instance) the rendering is handed over to MSIE. I am guessing that MSIE will animate the gifs for you. The problem with fwd vs. redirect is simple - when you forward the email is opened in an Entourage editing window, and since entourage can't author complex HTML this is all stripped out. Redirect simply retransmits the original message source without giving you the option to edit/add bits to the message, so the original 'complex' source is retained. -- Barry Wainwright <http://www.barryw.net> "The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided." -- Casey Stengel -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
