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?

    Care to share it with the world?

    Boy, you know, I'm really looking forward to the next version of Windows Live Mail; I'm confident that this issue will finally be fixed.  I mean, there's been plenty of time to work on it since the bug was first reported.  I wonder when the next version's coming out.  Could someone from Microsoft please comment on this?

    I've never heard of Spamfighter either but I use Bellmail, the same thing as Hotmail, and all use Microsoft as their email provider. I have never had a spam issue with this account and have no need of something like Spamfighter.

    However, I'm still able to get around this problem if I log on to my ISP & forward emails instead of using WLM which seems to me to be the crux of the problem.

    Thanks for the suggestion - However I have never installed or used SPAMFIGHTER. The only thing I have ever installed and used is Microsoft Security Essentials. If this is the problem, and I don't believe it is, it would be one Microsoft program interfering with another Microsoft program.

    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.

    We are still waiting for the known issue with Live Mail to be fixed. I very much doubt that this will ever happen.
