I've been hesitant on blocking .gif or image/gif because I'm sure a sample or screen capture would be removed.

I'll try it and find out, but with replace instead of strip.

If a message has src=cid, must the mime type be an image or the file extension of an image type? Could they be something totally different like audio/x-wav and xzqvkji.scr?

Hi Dale,

Blocking gif images would initiate a medium revolution. A lot a
people have a gif image at the bottom of the mail, eg. a company
logo.

Personaly i like plain text, no gimicks and no gadgets.

An Example: I received a printscreen, it was a gif image.

Hello...




I'm getting pressure from management to ban gif's as attachments. They're tired of their attach folders filling up with these gif's,
 most (if not all) come from spam. They're telling me that banning
 gif's will kill two birds with one stone; reduce attach directory
 clutter, and reduce spam.




1) Has anyone else tried this? How'd it go?




2) I'm not finding any legit email of mine that has gif attachments
 (an html newletter, etc), so right now I can't refute management's
 suggestion. Does this seem like a reasonable thing to do?




3) Do you personally get legit gif's (that are not just someone sending you a pretty picture)?




Thx, D.
