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?

    @ SOCSeven

    Well hello there - glad to see you are still alive and kicking - it has been a long time with no results hasn't it? I suspect that Microsoft has been so focused on developing Windows 8, Windows Phone, and something called Surface ( they have to be kidding ), that they have completely ignored Windows Live Mail. But , in my humble oppinion, that is a poor excuse. Just the other day I asked the question "What is the future of Windows Live Mail?" So far no response.

    Merry Christmas to you, and to all the other good folk who have taken the time to contribute to this thread which you started 2 years ago.

    Cheers

    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.

    Well here we are - Windows Live Glenn M said on May 8, 2011, nearly one year ago,

     " this is a known issue with Live Mail that should be fixed in the next release of the client".

    So tell me Windows Live Glenn M, when will we see the  next release of the client?

    I am sure we are all waiting with bated breath for your answer.

    Now that WINDOWS 8 is out of the way MS might just concentrate on this problem Unless that is WINDOWS 9 is taking up too much of their time.

    I agree, for I am having the same problem.

    It's December 2012 and I'm having the same problem. What are those no brainers doing at M.S.
