Whatever you or I or Ron visits on-line, there are a fair number of people on the list who may not do anything but read e-mail.
And, because we bought our house before the internet was available commercially, we've found ourselves unable to get hi-speed internet (yes, even DSL). I don't read my mail off the web, I d/l it to my computer so I can see it when I'm off-line. I'm pitifully grateful for anything that keeps others from sharing images with me. [now if only I could convince my cousin that I don't think her dawg is any cuter than my grands ...] And, as others have said, unless the screen shot is an animated gif, there's no way for it to show anything but a cursor on an icon.
