You are absolutely welcome 
And thank you for helping me discover this new creative outlet.
I chose formats and sizes keeping file size in mind, knowing that they would eventually be downloaded. Unfortunately, my 3.5 Mb download speed has skewed my perspective on what's considered "small"
Apparently, I overcompensated, but it is better to err on the side of caution, they say. I deleted all the WinXP (32bit) icon formats from within the icon files to keep the individual files relatively small. Since the icons don't use any alpha blending, they look exactly the same as the 24bit versions. I decided to include the 8bit versions as well, even though I wasn't sure how often they'd actually be used. In the end, the ability to control the color palette was worth the few extra bytes. I couldn't ever get the 4bit versions to look like anything but colorful noise, so I scrapped them. If you can't display more than 16 colors, you're probably not interested in icon collecting anyway.
Anyway, I'm in the process of relearning html (and css and xml and js and flash and all the other stuff that's gained popularity since the last time I wrote a web page). My plan is to eventually have a full-fledged icon site that Yuri can link to
I added 24x24 and 48x48 versions of the MailMon animations. I'll be adding those and removing the spaces in the urls soon.
