This issue has been a thorn in the side of Windows Live Mail users for nearly three years. Moderators, past and present, keep beating around the bush, trying to placate who raise the issue, but the Issue does not get resolved. Why? In my humble opinion, the Morerators cannot fix this, only Microsoft can. Why then are we not just told - Microsoft cannot or will not fix this issue, simple and to the point.

A brief history of this issue follows - - -

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.

We are currently investigating on an error that customers encounter when forwarding e-mail with embedded pictures.

Unfortunately, this is still a known issue with the client. The product team is still working on a fix, which should be included in the next release of the program. Please stand by for further updates about this issue.

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.
