I'm surprised that there aren't any terms in the X-SpamProbe header that
with the Igif_ prefix.  That makes me wonder if either:

1. your spamprobe isn't actually compiled with libungif support, or
2. spamprobe isn't parsing the email properly so it never 
   analyzes the image

If you run "spamprobe tokenize" on that sample email do any of the terms
in spamprobe's output start with Igif_?

When you ran configure when building spamprobe the output of configure
should mention tests for libungif and their results.  They should look
like this:

checking gif_lib.h usability... yes
checking gif_lib.h presence... yes
checking for gif_lib.h... yes
checking for DGifOpen in -lungif... yes

Do you see those when you run configure?

Thanks,
