Animated stuff

I realize that I should have gone through every thread to find this topic but I've already searched high and low with no results. When I was a PC/ Windows user, I belonged to several 'tagging' groups and now the animated ones are not coming in animated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In addition, is there a way to set my font/text for emails permanently? I welcome all help and comments.

Cheers!

I know the second one!

Go to Mail> Preferences>Fonts and Colours. Change the 'Message Font'.

You mean to see animated gifs actually animate by default? Yeah, I now what you mean.

you have several options actually....the immediade one is:
right click (ctrl click) one of the gif files (im guessing when you say animated this is what you mean)
then in the open with area...locate & select safari...& then apply it to all (by clicking change all)

otherwise download sequential...its a free app...& set it to open gif files
