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?

    Sadly, whomever designed this had "zero" thought as to whom may be utilizing it. Not all of us are "computer savy specialists" and this gives a whole new meaning to the word "Forward". A better term would be "crucify & send on". I (and numerous others) could see it if you were initially composing a e-mail, but to destroy an e-mails original "intact" intent by purposely re-configuring it , is just wrong. Why should anyoine have to "work around", bring up photo albums, options and tools to "convert" something  that's already there in it's original entity? JMHO

    Hi Wa4anr,

    This is currently by design. Sending images from your local folders will produce Photo e-mail. To workaround this, click on the image in the body of the message. That should bring up the Photo Album Tools options in the Format tab on the ribbon. Click it and then click the Paper clip button in the ribbon to convert the Photo e-mail to file attachments. You can also attach the files from a new message as I've mentioned in my previous post.

    Hi S0CSeven,

    Sending the e-mail via your e-mail provider's site should also serve as a workaround. Thanks. As for other workarounds using Live Mail, we only have sending the images as file attachments to work with. Please stand by for further updates on this.

    As for the link provided, temporary browser issues might be preventing you from accessing it. However, note that the escalated post addresses a similar issue in Hotmail, not in Live Mail. Use these links to correct any issues with your Internet Explorer browser:

    I clicked on your link & got this:

    "We were not able to find the resource you were looking for.

    The specific page you are trying to access is not available. If you have any support questions related to Mail, look for relevant solutions available at http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions.aspx?productid=15."

    It wasn't much help.
