How do I save a picture from the Internet and e-mail?

Question:

How do I save a picture from the Internet and e-mail?

Answer:

E-mail

Note: When a picture is sent over the e-mail it is sent as an attachment and most e-mail programs and online webmail programs will often display any attachment separate from the actual e-mail message. This means in order to view and/or save the attached picture you will often have to click the file or an icon such as a paperclip icon to view the actual attachments.

Microsoft Outlook

1. Open the e-mail with the attached picture.
2. Right-click on the picture or the icon of the file containing the picture and choose Save As.
3. This will open a Save Attachment window which will allow you to specify where you wish to save the file to.

Mozilla Thunderbird

1. Open the e-mail with the attached picture.
2. Right-click on the picture or the icon of the file containing the picture and choose Save As or Save Image.
3. This will open a Save Image window which will allow you to specify where you wish to save the file to.

Internet

1. Open the browser and locate the image or picture you wish to save.
2. Right-click the image and choose the option to Save Picture As, Save Image As, or Save image.
3. This will open a Save As window. In this window browse to the location you wish to save the image to and click the Ok or Save button.

Note: Some web pages may have features that disable the right-click and/or the ability to save image using the above method.
