Kevin,

I don't know if FuzzyOcr can assemble animated GIF images, but several 
posters on that page pointed out that .gif's aren't important in most 
emails. 

After reading their comments, I think it's a good idea to strip .gif 
attachments, and I'd like to know how the group would go about that.

Thanks for the link.

Bill Horne
