Go under the menu Custom. Select Suffix Mapping. I think there is an
entry for the .gif extension. Edit this, selecting the application you
want to view the gifs with. This is for v2.1b2. v2.06 has a less friendly
method of doing it, but is similar, and is found under the Fetch menu.

The file type has to be GIFf.
