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?

    Instead of Microsoft fixing the problem when I e-mailed a copy of my same problem, they in turn refered me to this forum. Now thats a real fix, How dumb when everyone is having the same problem. How is the forum going to fix their screw-ups?

    It is interesting that Microsoft have been aware of this bug for many, many months but apparently do not consider going backwards to the version that did work, ASAP and get the bug fixed before releasing the update again - no, that appears to be too hard  or sensible

    The suggestions from Moderators to have the photos as attachments is OK if there is no corresponding text to go with & explain the photos - jumping backwards & forwards to photos & text from two different screens is really a no-go.

    In the mean time, my Outlook 2007 & the latest Thunderbird work perfectly in sending e-mails with embedded photos combined with text.

    Yes, I suspect, the young members of this forum, those born in the 1990's, will be grand-parents by the time Microsoft sort this out.

    Hey, I'm a Reallyoldguy, too.  What do you bet we'll both be Reallydeadguys before this is resolved.
