Please describe the problem: I did a stress test today with animated gifs and found that all of them load while composing, but many do not display after the message is sent and viewed. BUT, when you reply to the message it then works. Attaching 3 files. gobby1.png - animated gif in composer, working fine gobby2.png - what the user receives, broken imag link gobby3.png - if you reply to the message with broken link, Goblin appears. Also attaching my test file. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Created attachment 58536 [details] Composer works perfectly
Created attachment 58537 [details] Message received, broken image symbol.
Created attachment 58538 [details] Reply and there it appears.
Created attachment 58539 [details] animated gif image
Believe it or not, people use animated gif images all the time in their taglines.
since this refers to composing html emails, i'm moving this to gtkhtml. there are already several bugs regarding animated images. :-/
Created attachment 60534 [details] Rendering is also perfect I don't find any problems with animated gif rendering. Plz see attached screenshot
Still broken for me on 2.5.92. Attaching another shot. Sent 3 of these animated gif images and all appear as broken symbols, then hit reply and one of the gif images came back again and display.
Created attachment 60564 [details] Animated GIFs not working still on Suse 9.3 Emailed 3 animated gifs, all 3 appeared as broken symbols. Then hit Reply and composer panel opens and one of them appears again and works. All of the gifs are in the physical email messages, they just don't display correctly.
