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?

    I have been having this issue ever since "upgrading" to W7, and like most users, I have just simply dealt with it.

    I stumbled upon this thread while looking for a solution.  The sheer ineptitude of Live support is both comedic and infuriating at the same time.

    Is it too much to ask to be able to simply disable the ridiculous slideshow "feature" so everyone can go back to using their emial client?
