When forwarding emails, pictures are stripped from text & put in slide show destroying original

Thanks for the tip on attaching image files.  I'm missing something here:  Since all my images are stored in my "local folders", how can I send them any other way? ((So they don't get sent as a "photo email")

I just thought I'd tell the followers of this problem what my workaround is.

Every time I try to forward an email and get the message beginning with "One or more of the pictures in this message could not be found .............."  I know WLM is about to destroy my imbedded pictures and I cancel the attempt.

If I then log on to my ISP mail server directly, I can forward the email without it being destroyed even though apparently WLM is somehow connected with my ISP email server (Bell Sympatico in Canada).

I don't understand it but it works for me.

Have any of you other folks found a workaround??

Hi Wa4anr,

You can send images as file attachments from Live Mail. However, note that when sending images from your local folders, Live Mail sends it as Photo e-mail. You can instead create a new mail in Live Mail and attach the files.

@everyone

We appreaciate all your feedback.

Here is another request for the next client.  In addition to fixing the problem with forwarding email with images, I would really like the option of attaching images as normal files without sending them to skydrive.  Some recipients don't like having to deal with skydrive, and Microsoft doesn't need to be irritating potential customers.  Maybe there could be a simple button to send images as normal attachments?

For others out there, my solution was to open a gmail account to forward images as attachments. (This could also solve the forwarding problem, but I'm not ready to totally dump Live Mail yet).

If you forward them as attachments you also send all the other E-Mail address on the E-Mail.  That is not a good idea to pass around E-Mail addresses to other people.
