Bruce  Not using OSX Mail.  Always use Eudora which I think is great.

Had no joy with GraphicConverter.   And here's another odd thing.   Have also got the smilies file on my G4 Laptop.   All the animations work perfectly when copied to an open Eudora message window.

Using a crossover cable, copied the smilies file from laptop to G4 desktop.  They don't animate in Eudora from there.

Why not?   What do you think is missing on the desktop that I have on the laptop?   Have scanned thru laptop apps and can't find anything that looks likely.    Any ideas?

Hi Bellbram,

this gets curiouser and curiouser.    

I'm not sure about Eudora on a Mac...but on a PC, Eudora can be set to use a browser to view mail. This allows HTML mail and images, including animated ones, to show. Maybe your laptop has this viewer enabled but your desktop does not?

Have you tried just viewing those smilies from your browser? You obviously can't edit them from a browser, but any browser should allow you see them move. I'm assuming you can see all the moving gifs here at TS. If your browsers won't display the movements, then I'm totally stumped. That would only seem to leave a possible browser setting that prevents looping. If these little smilies are prevented from looping, then there will only be one instance of movement and then it will stop. The one movement may happen so fast you don't see it and all your left with is a static image.

I'm grasping at straws here...don't give up..
