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?

    Reallyoldguy, Microsoft says that you can't run OE on Vista or Windows 7. Are you still on XP or do you know a secret?

    Problem solved! Good bye Windows Live Mail - Hello Microsoft Outlook!

    Maybe not the best solution, but I have finally thrown in the towel.

    I just cannot take it any more, life is too short.

    Well folks, after about a month of reading pages and pages of forum postings about this issue I've come to a decision.

    I installed Thunderbird and configured it as my email client.  Now, in addition to getting and sending emails without modifications by the software, I can also sync the calendar with my "cloud" calendar.  It's too bad Microsoft doesn't pay attention to these forum posts.  Next time I purchase a computer, I'm going to have to look at Apple.  Perhaps there's support there.

    Bye

    BTW - Zimbra didn't work too good.  There are possibilities there, but it's not ready for prime time.

    " Hi****Reallyoldguy,The product team is already aware and are also working to resolve this issue. Please have more patience.Thanks!"

    Over a year later and still the problem exists.  Is Microsoft really working on this as they've posed on this thread or are they just stonewalling us?

    Has anyone tried Zimbra email client.  On the surface it looks like an Outlook clone.

    An alternative e-mail client - why not then try Thunderbird?

    But it too has problems with fonts changing in the middle of some messages when replying!
