[HM] Forwarding email with animated gif

[Sue Rodriguez]

I have also had trouble forwarding animated gifs.  Most of the time, they
arrive as a square with a red X in it.  If I try downloading them, I get
only one picture, but in PREVIEW, I can see the entire number of separate
pictures that make up the gif.
