8-bit PNG works very well, even in IE 5.01. Graphics programs such

This is true. Alpha info changes the appearance of even 8-bit
(indexed) PNG files in IE (and possibly Safari?), though Firefox and
Opera ignore the information.

My preferred fix is to re-save files using the GIMP. I'm sure there's
a clever command-line script someone's cooked up that uses PNGcrush or
similar, but I don't know it.
