It jsut does. Even tells you that if you search microsoft.com for untitled.bmp and ie...

Unless...

You are using ZoneAlarm and have it set to block animations. If that is the case and you run across a site that has an animated GIF right-clicking on that pic to download it will also result in the only available format being BMP. No Idea why this is. If you allow that site to have animation in ZA and refresh then you can save as GIF.

Took me a while to figure that one out. :|
