KMail converts animated gif to PNG.

Is there any option or solution ,how to disable converting animated gif to PNG ?

I want to just send one message with animated gif smilies to my wife, and I'm unable to find any option.

I found more bugs. I can not believe for this. How KDE is perfect and whats a dodgy mail-client . It converts all my JPG to PNG as well. It should inform before using. When release KMail 2, than I tray again .

I don't know what is causing your problem, but it's certainly not normal behaviour. I can't test the animated gif, as I don't have any, but I sent myself a .jpg and it arrived as a .jpg. What version of KMail (and from what distro/KDE version) are you using?

KDE 4.5.1 Kubuntu Maverick 10.10

I already found the bugs about html composer in KMail, there is the problem. Of course , when I send message in plain text with attached gif , that works properly , but with composed HTML message, it converts all kind of images JPG,GIF.. to PNG. On KDE, I found junior job for this problem. Just dodgy KMail is not good for HTML messages.
Thanks for respond

html mail has never been a priority for KMail, due to the security risks involved, but I understand that KMail2 will have better support for it.

Thats true about risk with HTML, but after 14 years of developing KMail we get converted jpg,gif to png in HTML messages.

All I can say is that I've received html messages with gifs attached. Maybe it's because I don't enable html that I've never seen this problem. As I said, the original KMail, the one in current releases, is not designed for html content, so problems with it are unsurprising.
