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 Live Joey D.

    re: Your comment about sending feedback

    I just found a Microsoft site which lists those products that are currently accepting feedback, bugs or suggestions, for improving Microsoft products.

    Windows Live Essentials is NOT listed, let alone Windows Live Mail.

    Here is the site  <  http://connect.microsoft.com/  >

    Are you able to confirm, one way or another, whether or not feedback to Windows Live Mail is actually getting through?

    I would hate to spend time trying to help by sending feedback and have it end up in the garbage.

    Thanks very much,

    Reallyoldguy ( aka Tom )

    This has been going on since December 2010.  How long does it take to fix something that was not broke until you did an update.  Just go back to the old program.  Maybe you need a new product team.

    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.
