[HM] Forwarding Animated GIFs

[bob black]

	I sometimes receive messages with attachments containing clever  
animated GIFS, which I would like to forward to friends. I can  
download them to my desktop, drop them on Safari or one of my other  
browsers, and the GIFs will remain in animated form on my desktop.  
When I try to forward them as attachments from my desktop, however,  
the animation disappears. Neither can I forward the original message  
without losing the animation. I have worked many hours without  
success to solve the problem, but I have gotten nowhere. I shall be  
most grateful if anyone can tell me how I can transmit the GIFs in  
animated form. I am using a PPC G-5 with OS 10 4.8.
