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 John Paul R.

    John Paul, I can't begin to count the number of times I have seen this uninstall/reinstall solution or the number of times it has not worked!

    Perhaps you "Windows Live" people should get togetherand put pressure on the "Experts" to fix Windoes Live Mail. Can you not see how frustrated and upset your Windows Live Mail users are?

    "This . . . . . . is now a known issue" ? ? ? ? Really ! ! !

    As of January 26, 2011 this was a known issue in Windows Live Mail.

    What we would really like to know is, will this known issue in Windows Live Mail ever be fixed?

    Or will we have to wait for or find a new email client?

    A simple straight forward question, could we have a simple straight forward answer please.

    The recent reply astonishes me as the question has already been answered in the thread. I can't count the amount of folks that I've talked to are totally discusted with "Windows Live Mail" and have gone to alternatives. Microsofts creditability is sinking fast from what I've observed. Even our cable provider aknowledges that they've had numerous folks switch to their WEB mail.
