I just wanted to point out that since .gif is a compressed image format (and probably uses the same LZW compression as zip?) there is not much point in compressing a gif image. In this case the compressed image is actually larger than the gif. This may be partly because of the mysterious "__MACOSX/" empty directory, which was created on unzipping the file, so must have been in .zip archive. -rw-r--r-- 1 berry strbiol 79842 2010-01-14 16:31 Pic.gif drwxrwxr-x 2 berry strbiol 4096 2010-01-14 16:32 __MACOSX/ drwxrwxrwt 32 root root 16384 2010-01-15 04:05 ../ -rw------- 1 berry strbiol 96841 2010-01-15 09:21 Pic.gif.zip drwxr-xr-x 3 berry strbiol 4096 2010-01-15 09:21 ./ Also, my mail handler is suspicious of .zip, even when not password protected, so I had to specifically request the release of this. If not compressed, the .gif would have shown up inline with the message in my mail client.
