Switching to plain text doesn't help. I just tried something I should have 
tried before, and I can report that regardless of whether I'm displaying HTML 
or plain text, choosing "Message > Save Attachments…" saves the gif along with 
some jpgs that are also in the signature block and the pdf attachment that I 
actually want -- but regardless of whether I'm displaying HTML or plain text, 
only the pdf is listed at the top of the message with the quicklook/save/delete 
buttons. So I can't see any way to delete the gif attachment from the message 
except by deleting them all with "Message > Remove Attachments," and I'd like 
to keep the pdf attached if possible. (Yes, I've also downloaded and saved it 
separately, but this is a thing I want both belt and suspenders on.)

I have gif killers in nearly all my browsers; I was hoping there'd be one in 
MailMate. I don't mind the image, I just don't want it moving.

(But honestly, Benny, this is a minor quibble that has come up once in -- how 
long have I been using MailMate? -- nine years. Don't let me distract you from 
bigger concerns!)
