[HM] Forwarding Animated GIFs

[Duane Murphy]

You don't need a program with Zip any longer. It's built into Mac OS X
(Tiger). Press control and click on a file or folder and one of the
selections is "Create Archive of ...". This will zip the file or folder.

Double clicking on a zip file will automatically extract the files also.
