Is it possible to insert an animated gif into a Kmail message, please? I find I am receiving some but have not been able to work out how to send.

I downloaded this gif and then attached it to a test email to myself.
When it came back the animated gif was animated.
Perhaps it is because in "settings-->configure kmail-->security" I set "Prefer HTML", setting my email to display html content automatically.
However, I found no way to insert the message in between text. The attachment appends to the bottom of the text.
EDIT: There is an attachment option at the top of the advanced msg editor which will insert a previously loaded attachment at the point
where the text insertion I bar is located. What makes me sad is that I've done that before and didn't remember.Last edited by GreyGeek; Jul 28, 2014, 09:09 AM."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Exactly what and why they couldn't program around it is beyond me.

Yes, I knew it was Word by default. That is what I read which goes to show you can't always believe what you read, but still; I think it a drawback with Outlook and not always ideal to open every e-mail in a browser just for that especially when Outlook past could handle it. FWIW and MHO.

Coming back to this after a (medical) virus delay :

Cool! I like it - I will try it myself. As also this :

I did find an icon at the right end of the toolbar for inserting an image - apparently into the text - but that came back as an attachment below the message.
In passing, why should my picture not appear within the leftmost block as the rest of you's does? I have it in my profile.

Thank you - but that is for only forum messages - not for 'outside' (i.e from me to another addressee) emails?

No, I was meaning for general email use - I receive some which are amusing and wondered if I could send likewise. But thank you for the help.

Ah, so - I will try for that.
