Sounds like the same probem I'm having with viewing with 'slide show' (which I do not like) and the red dreaded 'x'. How will be notified? On this site?
When forwarding emails, pictures are stripped from text & put in slide show destroying original

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?

2011-05-08T21:39:05+00:00 Hi everyone,
As already confirmed on this thread, this is a known issue with Live Mail that should be fixed in the next release of the client. I'm afraid we still have no exact time to confirm when the next release will be. Updates should be posted in these forums.
For the meantime, you can send the e-mail as attachment instead of forwarding them to your contacts. That should retain all the images in the e-mail.

2011-05-07T19:36:55+00:00 So that's it? I just bought a brand new computer with Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail and Microsoft is aware of this WELL KNOWN ISSUE and this is what I get? Tough cookies you'll have to wait a couple years until we role out a new version with no alternative. There HAS to be an alternative email software that can be shared.
I'm trying to be polite but the response (or lack of) here from Microsoft is just unacceptable and weak.

2011-05-02T20:26:09+00:00 Okay, since this is a WELL KNOWN ISSUE (for many, many months now), what alternative is Microsoft "TM" offering it's "PAID" clients until such known "ISSUE" is ever resolved? I've got over 184 photo emails to forward and the continued "excuses" have but all run out! When is the next "release" supposed to transpire? Please submit the alternative email programs available!
