Last week a customer asked me how to save photos someone has sent them from an email.

Simply right-clicking over any of the photos did not allow them to save it, nor would copy and paste, or clicking and dragging to a folder.

How can you not want to save a good photo from your email? Oh! and let sleeping dogs lie.

After a couple of minutes of fiddling around and a quick flash of inspiration, here is how:

1. Double click on the message so it opens in its own window
2. Click ‘other actions’ from the ribbon bar
3. From the other actions menu click ‘view in browser’
4. Browser window will open, normally in Internet Explorer
5. Right click over each image and choose ‘Save picture as..’
6. Save the photo to where you want it (normally your ‘Pictures’ Folder, or a folder of its own in that folder)

Done!

Easy really when you know how.
