Mail can do both of these things if it's set up to do so. A trip to his 
Viewing preferences is probably in order.

In most cases, he should be GRATEFUL when these images don't show up 
correctly. I've yet to be sent an animated GIF or other "joke" via 
email that was worth the time or bandwidth. Many of them also carry 
viruses (not that this will affect your Mac of course). It's a blessing 
not to have to deal with them.
