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?

    Actually there's another thread on this same subject that I've been following.  Evidently there is a new version of WLM, but it only runs under Win7 and Win8, and I'm running Vista.  I've toyed with the idea of upgrading this machine to Win7 (never to Win8!), but am reluctant to tempt fate, as Vista's been running flawlessly for me for some years now.

    Here's a link to that other thread, where you can read Microsoft's announcement (with minimal fanfare) about a new version of WLM:

    Hello SOCSeven,

    December 18, 2010 seems like a lifetime ago! Glad to see you are alive and still kicking. I must say this thread of yours does keep me entertained. You have yourself a great summer!

    Boy, you know, I'm really looking forward to the next version of Windows Live Mail; I'm confident that this issue will finally be fixed.  I mean, there's been plenty of time to work on it since the bug was first reported.  I wonder when the next version's coming out.  Could someone from Microsoft please comment on this?
