SLD pointsymbolizer externalgraphic trouble

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Debbie,

  I have tested your sld with local data and the only "problem" I found 
was that the format used is <Format>image/gif</Format> instead of 
<Format>gif</Format>.  I have rechcked the sld specs and it specifies 
that the format should be of MIME type so your sld should be valid. I 
have corrected the test to test for GIF or image/gif (as well as PNG and 
image/png). (related bug is 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1430).
  If possible use the latest version from cvs or until you get a new 
build you can use GIF as the value of the format.

  Later,

€ ...etc (this happens if I set imagetype GIF or PNG), and also if I don't set IMAGETYPE at all.
