I clicked to insert image, selected an animated gif, sent the message and it displayed properly. More detail on what you did may be useful.

hi, david,

thank you for your answer.

i did it like you did! But on my system i got just the frame of the gif visible and nothing will arrive on the receiver side.

I have searched for solutions but there are some ppl who had this problem but its no recent problem.
