original title: Pictures could not be found

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.

    I agree with you. The problem I have with it is it is sent as an attachment and the person to whom the email is sent has to open the attachment. While my solution is clumsier (Save File, Open with Word, Copy and Paste to a new email), the receiver sees the pictures and text as originally sent.

    But your solution may be the best for kountryking above.

    I don't consider this an ideal solution, BUT . . . click the small black arrow under Forward on the home tab of Windows Live Mail, then select Forward as attachment.  That method sends the message with pictures intact.  The reason I don't consider it ideal is that I have not found a way to remove email addresses of those who forwarded the message to me.

    "As for the issue with receiving mail with .eml attachments go to Options, click on the Read tab and uncheck Read All Messages in Plain Text. That may help". Thanks for your interest and suggestion, but I already have the above unchecked. In an earier post, someone said they switched to Outlook for sending the mail. Was this Outlook Express? I am running windows 7 Professional. I didn't think there was a way to install Outlook Express on a Windows 7 machine.

    Please let me know if there is any way to get away from WLM. It sure would solve this problem.

    Thanks again for your interest and help.

    Read All Messages in Plain Text has been unchecked since I sought help for this problem.

    I have Outlook Express on my old PC with Windows XP but I don't know how to find my POP3 and SMTP servers.  I have DSL in El Salvador and it's not easy to get answers from where I pay my monthly cable, land line phone, and Internet bill.  Between my Spanish and their English...

    Thanks, but it's been unchecked since early in my quest for relief.
