This is another tip I thought I shared awhile back but can’t find the tip, so here goes.

Outlook 2007 does not animate animated gif’s – it displays the first frame of the gif only. You will need to open the HTML message in your browser to see the animation.

1. Open the message.
2. Click the Other Actions button on the Actions chunk.
3. From the flyout menu, choose View in Browser (its near the bottom)

Use View in browser to view any HTML message that does not display correctly in Outlook or when you want to print a message and have better options than Outlook’s print option offers.
