This used to work awhile ago before I began rebuilding a 
site and now it isn't working.

Under set options -> Local Structure Type I removed the .%t 
and put in .shtml to rename all saved files as SHTML files. 
This worked fine awhile ago and gifs were downloaded and 
retained properly within the site. 

Now however, when I'm doing the same thing. Even <IMG 
SRC="*.gif"> files are being renamed to .SHTML files and 
locally I can't even view the .shtml file when the 
mirroring is complete. Instead the source code(literally) 
displays. Rather weird. Any ideas as to why this happens 
Xavier? :)
