When I forward an email with graphics on it, the forwarded email gets reformatted and there are red lines around images and it overall looks terrible.

When an email comes in to my inbox, I usually must choose to "show remote content" in order for it to look the way the sender intended it to look. With images, logos, graphics, etc.

If I forward this email to someone else, the images get red dotted lines around each and the appearance is severely compromised.

I have tried to update the send options to "send the message in both plain text and HTML" and I have tried "send the message in HTML anyway", and neither fixed the problem.

Aside from replying as an attachment, which I do not want to do, is there a way to fix this? It seems that most emails today have some formatting to it, so why would the default settings undo this?

Your help will be greatly appreciated. I love Thunderbird, but this one issue my force me to abandon ship at some point. It is embarrassing to me as a tech savvy person that I cannot forward an email that I want to share without maintaining the formatting and design.
