That sounds quite like that could be the reason. There's something different
between gifs created with Quark versus those with Photoshop/Elements. You can
open the Quark gifs in Photoshop and re-save them and they will work in IE6
with these updates. Another solution is to save them in Quark as pngs, or if
you don't need transparency, as jpgs.
