Windows Live Mail error: "One or more of the pictures in this message could not be found. When you send this message these pictures will not be included. Are you sure you want to send this message?"

Well, none of that worked.  I just received an email with a bunch of photos of cats.  I clicked Ctrl A and Ctrl C.  I opened a new WLM email and clicked Ctrl V.  It just printed the outlines of the photos with the omnipresent red X.

Jim, check your last sentence.It says "Forward the original message, delete the picture, and paste."  Is that the right sequence?

I just uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Essentials 2011.  I'll wait for the next email that comes with a picture on it and see what happens. 

The problem comes primarily with emails that have a series of pictures with text beneath, usually a joke or something bashing Obama (very popular).

Right-click the picture, save it to your desktop, then open it from there, highlight it and copy. Forward the original message, delete the picture, and paste. Now WLM is happy. Definitely "Microsoftian!"

• Jim -

I have the same problem, obviously MS has no answer!!

You will get more help by posting that issue in the Windows Live Mail forum:

I think this problem started with the new Windows Live Mail update a few days ago.  Everytime my wife tries to forward one of her emails with a picture of some sort or another Mail comes back with the message

"One or more of the pictures in this message could not be found.  When you send this message these pictures will not be included.  Are you sure you want to send this message?"

If you answer Yes WLM does send the email and the picture(s) are there but convoluted.  Is there some setting I need to change to get back to the "old" WLM.
