Yes - Converting to RGB and resaving as .gifsolved the problem. Thanks to all. And yes, too - I understand the effects of the various common image types. In this case I need to stick with .gif unless the client says different (and I will offer some explanation). Too bad IE (6) does not offer better support for transparency with .pngs. The pngfix workarounds are fatiguing.
