How do you know it is really a graphic? All you know is that the mime-type description has been set to image/gif.As graphic parts can't carry viruses, is it necessary to get the content at all? Not doing so would circumvent the problem and speed things up too.
It might have a file-name that ends in ".exe" and then it depends on how the client handles that.
