I found this when I Googled: With WLM 2011 by default when Live Mail detects photos it converts the email to what Microsoft calls a "photo email" and the pictures are no longer embedded in the email. You can turn this off by going to File : Options : Compose (tab). Uncheck "Convert messages to photo emails ...". OK your way out. Close WLM & restart.

One of those messages that you "forwarded" (which you should never do)probably had a nasty enclosed. It could be a trojan rather than a virus. Do you have an antispyware program on your computer like "Malwarebytes" its free. Suggest you download it, install it, update it then run it. Another good one which complements Malwarebytes is Spywareblaster, Its always running in the background and keeps these nasties from loading. You just have to update it weekly or so and its free as well. What service package of XP do you have (hopefully XPSP3) To find out right click on "my computer" select properties and that info should be in the box that appears

Yes Owbist, it's really blank. I looked at it yesterday - totally blank. genes, I'm sorry to say I don't know the answers to any of your questions. All I know is her "forward" button quit working and she's asked me why. So I thought I'd come here and ask you guys....hoping you've come across this before and there would be an easy fix. Thanks anyway.

Interesting you ask that right now> I just got an email with the explanation of why those types of emails are started and passed around. In some cases I think it is spot on. Here is the copy of that email. "By now, I suspect everyone is familiar withsnopes.comand/or truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. 1) Any time you see an email that says "forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends", "sign this petition", or "you'll get bad luck" or "you'll get good luck" or "you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it" or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other Spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease "how would you feel if that was your child" --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate! 2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and Spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more. You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping theSpammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them! ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to government or any other organization - I.e. Social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a "signed signature" and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers." that is one reason I preach using the BCC option do NOT put any visible email address on any email, protect the privacy of those you know. "Be kind to your email friends".
