Piece 'o cake!  All you hae to do is make sure the articles are in order  
(control-drag if not) then select them all and press Tools->Uudecode.   
When it's done the GIFs icon will appear in the Icon well in the NG  
window.

P.S. To get rid of the double .sig tell NG to Ignore .sig File in  
Preferences.
