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?

    Windows 7  & WLM at Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3538.0513) only on my PC, this problem of removing the photo from a message & sending it via a Reply or Forward has just started today for me & I do not know if any updates have slipped through.

    A real PITA.

    Oh dear..........

    I have Microsoft Office 2003 and have no intention of upgrading (it cost a fortune). Outlook 2003 is on there but I don't have the balls to pull the trigger & install it. Same with Thunderbird. Well, not yet anyway.

    Imagine. Microsoft software being so bad I'm considering going back almost a decade to find something that works.

    Hi SOCSeven,

    Microsoft is correct in regards to Outlook Express, and I am on Windows 7. I am refering to Outlook, not Outlook Express. Although the names are similar, they are two different things. Outlook is a component of the Microsoft Office suites, although not all versions have it. For instance, Microsoft Office Home and Student does not have it. I managed to obtain Microsoft Office 2007 and Outlook is included. Outlook is similar to Outlook Express, but has considerably more features, many of which I probably will never use. Outlook is also available as a paid for standalone version.

    Getting started with Outlook, I found the help and support from Microsoft Office to be absolutely outstanding. I found the help and support for Windows Live Mail to be virtually non existent.

    Hope this helps - Good Luck

    Reallyoldguy, Microsoft says that you can't run OE on Vista or Windows 7. Are you still on XP or do you know a secret?

    Problem solved! Good bye Windows Live Mail - Hello Microsoft Outlook!

    Maybe not the best solution, but I have finally thrown in the towel.

    I just cannot take it any more, life is too short.
