Entourage 2004 will only animate animated GIFs if the message is rendered
with the complex HTML engine. Even with the option checked, that rendering
engine is only used for "complex HTML" messages, in other words, messages
including advanced HTML elements like tables. You might still be able to
see the animation by opening the GIF image in QuickTime Player if you see it
in the "Attachments" box.
