MS Outlook 2007 uses the rendering engine of Word, and Word 2007 does 
not support animated gifs. It should show the first frame of your gif, 
but I would not name this the worst case. This would be if people would 
not like animated gifs for some reasons.

This most likely is not a valid CSS answer... I would try Microsoft 
Silverlight... or a more widely installed alternative, Flash.  Of course, I 
think this entire topic is traversing into the [OT] realm for this list...

No, and if I did, I wouldn't tell anyone. OL has enough security holes 
as it is, we don't need people being able to trigger buffer overflows in 
Windows graphics handling libraries ...

Don't know about OL2007, but in OL2003 at my office, display of images 
is turned off and nothing in the email can change that.
