[Bug 499015] [NEW] Interlaced GIF isn't displayed

 

Public bug reported:

Alan <wehmann@xxxxxxxx> reports:

I had someone send me an email which when viewed in another email 
client showed text superimposed on a background image.  In VM the 
image didn't show; instead the complaint was 
Unknown/Bad GIF image encoding 
I extracted the image to PhotoShop and then made a copy.  I was 
offered the choice of normal row order or interlaced row order.  With 
normal row order and the copied image inserted into the email in place 
of the original (properly encoded), the image displayed.  With 
interlaced row order and the copied image inserted into the email in 
place of the original (properly encoded), the image was not displayed 
and the complaint shown above appeared.
