This is the weirdest thing...

I host a site for a friend of mine, she's into some...blinky stuff. Hum. I dunno. Anyways...she got a hold of me earlier and said that her "blinkies" cannot be downloaded from the server as GIFs, which they are, but the browser always forces them as bitmaps.

I don't know what this could be about, so I am asking the wiser ones. Oddly enough, I cannot save the images as GIFs either, while I can do so on other sites.

Example: http://spellbound.modcenter.net/blinkies/Animation6.gif

Apparently, NO ONE so far has been able to save these GIFs as the animations they are. I mean, wtf?

This is on MSIE, that is. Using Netscape, though, I can do it just fine. What could this be about?

I read this article by Microsoft but it does not seem to apply to this case.
