Outlook for iOS and Android has a of plugin with support for animated GIF’s which is very strange indeed.

You can add animated GIF’s to emails from the Outlook app, but they won’t show any movement if viewed in Outlook for Windows/Mac or many other email programs.
Microsoft Office, including Outlook for Windows/Mac is notable for NOT having any animated GIF support. Moving GIF’s would be a nice addition to PowerPoint and Outlook but there’s no sign of them arriving.
More Fine Print
Another compatibility issue is the mail host that the Outlook app is connected to. At the moment, the plugin is limited to Office 365 hosting and Outlook.com with Gmail promised for later.
