An image file is binary and is separated from its non-binary E-mail message as they enter the Internet. The two travel through the Internet separately with the image file marked as an attachment to the E-mail message. Then, at the recipient's E-mail application, they are recombined UNLESS the recipient has set an option (as I do) not to open any attachments. The problem is that even GIF, JPEG, BMP, and PNG image file have been known to contain serious malware. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's US-CERT database contains over 1,000 reports of vulnerabilities traced to image files. To protect against this, many users block the opening of ANY image files. As a result, your GIF signature file might wind up being ignored by recipients of your E-mail messages. -- David E.
