save as

Hi, My wife has a optiplex at work. When I send her e-mail with a giff (smilie) and she tries to save to her pictures it only wants to save as a bitmap.In the save as type most options are greyed out. I had her try to copy and paste to her pic's but the paste  function is greyed out in her pic's. She is running xp-pro, 4 gigs of ram,250gig hard drive,sp2. The e-mail program she is using is outlook. Is there some kind of setting that may be preventing copying giff's or copying and pasting in outlook? Thank you.

    If you send the GIF as an explicitly attached file then it should not get converted.

    Hi JarmoD,I have a bunch of gif's that I downloaded to my pics. From there I copy and paste to a e-mail and send. So I guess you would not call this an attatchment,it does not say it is one when viewed.They are probably what you would call embedded in the e-mail. But the deal is I can copy giffs in e-mail sent to me by r-clicking and save to my pics or copy and paste either way it works on my computer but not my wifes. Im pretty sure it must be some setting in xp pro or the way outlook is handling her mail Thanks for your reply

    Try this: In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, General tab, choose Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files.
