When forwarding emails, pictures are stripped from text & put in slide show destroying original

I have Windows 7 & IE8. When I receive a perfectly good email with pictures or gif's embedded in the text and TRY TO FORWARD IT, the forwarded email has all the pictures stripped out & put in a slide show. The text is full of the dreaded red x's & the whole thing is unreadable.

How can I stop this? Turn off the slide show feature?

    Good morning Dondon,

    If you will check the start of this post, you will see that it began on the 18th of December, 2010.

    I must say that my patience is wearing very thin.

    And is there or is there not a newer updated release of Windows Live Mail on the horizon?

    Thanks.

    > Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately, this is still a known issue with the client. The product team is still working on a fix, which should be included in the next release of the program. Please stand by for further updates about this issue.

    Glenn M., may we please have an update?

    Specifically:

    1)    Has the product team come up with a fix for this issue?

    2)    Has the product team come up with a fix for the numerous other issues with Windows Live Mail?

    3)    What is the expected date of the next release of the program?

    Please, please, please give us some specifics so we know what to expect.

    Thank you very much
