Dean,

I think you're thinking of a *.PIF file, not a *.GIF file.
To my knowledge, there has never been any virus attached to a
picture file.
For the Eudora problem,  is it possible that support for the .gif file
has been removed due to the copyright lawsuits involving
Compuserve and the format? Just a thought.
