PPCGeeks - can gif images be sent with TP picturemail

i tried to research this issue, but could't find an answer. Although i did find that it can send video, but nothing that says it can send gig images. also, i thought i remember that the touch pro was suppose to play voice recording straight from the picturemail screen without the window media having to open up. at least i thought my touch diamond. i did download the picturemail cab from the sprint site. i have the haven't really used my picturemail since i got the touchpro, even though i have had it since it came out. i just want to check it out before my 30 days are up in case it's a problem with the phone itself. thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
