.GIF files and Entourage headers

M

munoz1

Hello, I have two problems:

I don't know if this is caused by Entourage or by MAC generally.
Whenever I receive and open .gif files, they don't play like when I
had my windows computer. Anyone know the reason for this??

And secondly, does anyone know if it is possible to remove the "Today,
Yesterday" etc headers in the mail folders?

Thanks

The short answer is: they do play, but only under certain conditions. Here's
the technical explanation: in Entourage, only e-mail messages that are
sufficiently complex trigger the use of the WebKit browser engine to display
animated GIF files. If the message is not complex enough, Entourage will use
its built-in HTML engine, which is extremely weak and cannot play animated
GIF files.

General suggestion: don't write "Mac" in capital letters; "Mac" is a short
form for "Macintosh", while "MAC" refers to an entirely different concept,
"Media Access Control".

Thank you for your reply Michel.
Is there some other program one can install on the Mac to play
these .gif files instead?
