Very strange problem with pictures sent to my PC via email.

This has got to be the strangest thing I've ever encountered. With my iPhone 5S, I can send a photo to my email address with no problem. I pick up the picture on incoming email with my PC running Windows XP. Everything is normal. The problem is when I try to forward that email from my PC.

Using Outlook Express, the forwarded email will have the attachment, but it wlll also include other pictures randomly. As many as 18 pictures have been attached to a single forwarded email. This only happens with pictures received via email from my iPhone, and when that specific email message/attachment is forwarded. My PC does have iTunes installed, and I do not have sharing over wifi enabled on my iPhone.

I have never encountered this problem before, so I am quite baffled at this point. I can work around the problem by saving the picture and then attaching it to a new email, but that can be a nuisance.

Any ideas??????

I figured it out. It's not a real issue, just a perceived one. This only happens when using my online email service, which opens up the Windows picture and fax viewer as its reader. That viewer displays multiple images, which do not actually show up on the recipient's desktop.

I would have deleted this post if I could have. Sorry.
