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 S0CSeven,

    To help us investigate the issue on sending photos, we will be needing the following information:

    • The account that you're using when you encountered the issue.
    • The subject of the e-mail that you're trying to forward or reply to that is encountering the error.
    • Date and Time the e-mail is received.

    Thanks.

    There are NO error messages.

    Just emails with the pictures stripped out and replaced with boxes with the dreaded red x. Pls read second comment.

    Thanks

    It sounds like you've washed your hands of me.

    Judging from all my contacts, it looks like my only solution is to install XP on my computer and find an email provider that doesn't use WLM.

    I don't know what else to say..................  if Windows 7, XP and WLM are incompatible with each other I wish you'd at least say so.

    OR

    provide an explanation and solution in English.

    Thanks Ron, but I'm not in the position of being able to tell my somewhat not-so-technically-gifted correspondents (much like myself) that they are no longer able to imbed pictures of my grandchildren (for instance) in a note because Windows 7 & Windows Live Mail will tear it apart .......... even though Windows XP and Windows Live Mail are smart enough to be able to handle it when they are forwarded.

    I still don't have a solution to my problem and I cannot change what I receive from others.
