I always thought that my mail client wouldn't show an animated gif, as any that I uploaded didn't animate when dragged into a window. Yet today a friend sent me an animated gif that arrived animating.

I can forward this animation to my email account and it still arrives animating. But if I drag it to the desktop and drag it back into a new message window and forward it to myself, it doesn't animate.

Why is this happening.
