I have an e-mail message with an embedded .gif

Windows tries to save it as a bitmap. How can I extract the .gif??? :dunno:

[AgentSun]

when you want to open it, right click the file name and see if you can just simply "save as" a .gif

[bubblez]

Negative. Windows tries to save it as a bitmap

[grinner]

do you have any conversions programs... like Conversions Plus? You save it as bitmap and then convert it into a jpeg or gif or whatever you want.

[AgentSun]

okay when you right click to "save as", and it tries to save as a .bmp, if there is no .gif in the drop down menu of file extensions, try just renaming the file _____.gif when you are saving. so instead of saving picture.bmp type in picture.gif even though .bmp is in the drop down menu thing.

[bubblez]

hmmm... tried the brute force option of saving as .gif even without that option in the drop down menu. Created a file.gif, but lost the .gif properties and the action sequence.

The file has to be stored in a temp folder somehow but I can't locate it.

search for the file.

[bubblez]

Done did that. Search finds nothing.

hmmmm :shrug:

is it animated?

you will probably need to get it from the source.

This can be the only reason you want to save it as a gif and it won't allow you to, because it's animated.

what size is it?

[bubblez]

:headbang:


yup, it's animated. can't get a size on the .gif itself, but the message is only 133KB
