The only "View image" option I can find is the contentual-menu one,
the one that appears when I control-click on the image. Whether or not
I hold down shift as well, all that choosing that option does is load
the last frame of the animated image. It does not force the image to
reload, and I can find no "reload" option anywhere. (Again, I'm using
Camino 1.1b; the testing reported here was done under Panther.)

Reloading the whole page with command-r or by clicking the "reload
page" icon in the toolbar appears to reload any image that I have
*not* previously opened with the contextual-menu option "View image."
Reloading the whole page with command-shift-r reloads all images, and
also resets whatever it was that choosing "View image" did, so that
images will again reload with command-r or the "Reload page" icon,
until I choose "View image" for them again.

(This refusal to reload seems to be consistent behavior across
windows, not just in the original window. An image that I have
command-control-clicked and chosen "View image in a new window" will
not reload in that new window for either command-r or the "Reload
page" toolbar icon. It *will* reload for command-shift-r.)

But reloading the whole page seems like overkill, anyway; is there no
way to force-reload just a single image within the already loaded
page? Michael, where is that "reload" option hiding?
