I'm way behind on both KDE mail and NetBSD mail, but there's been some
concern on the part of the KDE developers about the actions being taken
by the GIF patent owner (Unisys?).  It's quite possible that the KDE
developers have disabled GIF handling as a result of that concern.  I'll
know more once I've been able to catch up on my KDE mail...

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
