Can an animated gif file be inserted in an email? This is something that worked when I was using Outlook 2003, but does not work in Outlook 2010. Does Thunderbird allow a fully animated gif file within an email, or only as an attachment>

Yes, you can! You can add an image in-line using the button near the smiley button. This also works for GIF.
