    I've read this whole thread and was hoping to find an answer. I use the web version of Hotmail and can send  forwards but the imbedded pictures won't send with it. I'm hoping they come up with an answer. I am using the new Outlook type hotmail.

    Hi PLW76...I am HelpJean(2) and also (1) don't know how I did that... I am glad that you posted.. My Grandson has been trying to get me to use Mozilla Foxfire for several years makes me sad that I did not listen to him... I was so disappointed in MS for not letting us know what is going on with their program Windows Live Mail...but I can say that I am happy that I dropped them and am using another program...and you are right they forced that mail on us... ... HelpJean

    Hi HelpJean..Your message was a little confusing to me, but then, it doesn't take much....LOL...I am a 76 yr young gal, that has always been infatuated with electronics (Inherited from my father the electrician), and have had a computer since early 1980's.....I love them, I love trying to figure out programs and such, and have been pretty darned good at it if I must say so myself.....LOL...I think I saw that you went to incredamail?? I used that yrs ago too and it is a fun email client, but I soon learned there was too much spyware, and virus''s involved with that site so after getting bit by some of that, and almost having to shoot my computer to get rid of it, I finally got it straighted up, and never went back to them again....So I hope you don't get bitten by all of that....Foxfire is a very secure browser, and I am trusting that Thunderbird is as well....I am enjoying it very much, and until I find a reason to not like it, I will stick with it.....IF MS were to bring back the old OE I would probably go back to it....Good luck Jean....OH andd Foxfire and TB are both very easy to download if you ever decide to give it a try....

    Folks, I have been reading all of your comments and the fact you were offered no solutions to this dilemma...I too have had this problem since buying my computer with the Windows OS 7....I solved my problem out of frustration, by bypassing microsoft all together....I have always used Mozilla Foxfire as my browser, and tried their email client (Thunderbird) yrs ago, but always went back to outlook express, that I loved all of these yrs....BUT, since they for some reason did away with that, and forced this stupid Windows live mail on us, I downloaded Thunderbird yesterday, and am now able to forward the emails with the pictures on them to my friends....It was simple, very easy to navigate, and so I say, goodbye to live mail, you just died and I buried you.......Why can't microsoft ever do anything to satisfy the customer?? If it ain't broke, don't fix it..... I will stick to Thunderbird....

    Hello EHAM_907,

    Thank you very much for your comments and the link. Kinda makes one think twice, doesn't it?  I guess there is no perfect solution, just some that are better than others.

    @ helpjean(2) - do check out the link and the comments.

    cheers
