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?

    Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately, this is still a known issue with the client. The product team is still working on a fix, which should be included in the next release of the program. Please stand by for further updates about this issue.

    These are not the only ones having this problem there are many people who have the same problem, but are not writing.  They are doing just like I was I just Kept checking the web site and looking for a solution to this problem.  It is about time that this problem is taken care of as this has been going on for to long.  If it is not taken care of soon I suggest that every one go to a different E-Mail provider other than Windows Mail Live.

    Being it's taken conciderably long for Microsoft to correct this knowingly frustrating problem amoung it's users. What alternative email program (such as Outlook Express or Outlook) does Microsoft offer until this situation is corrected (and how is it accomplished)? It's extensively frustrating to forward photo emails with only it's captions staying in place (and the original photo's replaced by a "RED X").

    I am sorry but this is still a known issue in Windows Live Mail.

    It's been 3 months since we last heard from Windows folks. Is a solution forthcoming?
