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 wa4anr,

    Make sure that you're on the Desktop folder when selecting the account. I've opened another private data field below where you can upload the file.

    I now see the area to upload the file, but I can't find the file to select.

    (I was able to drag the email to my desktop, and have the file name of the mail,

    but I can't find it in this list of files that comes up when you "Select" the file to upload.

    I'm not seeing this Private Data Area . . .

    My email address is ***ings@****mail.com

    I'm using WLM 2011 with Windows 7 (64 bit); I have a friend also using it, with identical issues.

    Is there an email address I can forward a sample message to?

    @wa4anr

    Please also provide the information Windows Live Rafael asked so we can investigate your issue.

    Please also send us a sample copy of the email you are trying to forward. Try to drag the email from Windows Live Mail message lists to your desktop and then upload the file to the Private Data Area below.

    Make sure to sign-in to this site to see the area. Please post back in the public forum after you attach the file.

    @S0CSeven

    Yes, we need your email address so we can verify the account you are using. You can also send us a sample copy of the email you are having issues with.

    I've provided your own Private Data Area to my second post.

    Thanks.
