Which E-Mail program? Do you have an option to save an attachment? Does the Copy allow you to select a location where you can Paste it? Or is it just copying the image for the paste into a program such as Paint [Start, All Apps, W, Windows Accessories] which then would allow saving.
I speculate a lot...... with certain amount of "educated" guess.
This is one of them.
Which of the following applies :
1. Picture comes as an attachment ?
2. Picture is embedded in the message column ?
Reading from your post, seems to me #2 applies................... Picture is embedded in the message column .
If yes, right click at it should give you 2 options :
1. Copy
2. Save picture as.
Select option #2 > Save it to a folder.
You can now decide what to do with it.
For example .........You can right click at the picture > click Set as desktop background.

The pic is embedded in the email. I can copy it and AltV it into a new folder but actually the whole email is copied. If I the rt click on it only the COPY option opens up in the folder. The email program I am using is the one that comes with windows 10 I haven't downloaded Outlook yet.
OK. You are using the Mail app.
Use the built-in Snipping Tool
Start > All apps > scroll down to W > open Windows accessories > locate snipping tool > pin to Start or > click More > pin to taskbar.
How to use Snipping Tool

Note : Uncheck this before you use snipping tool...............
Open Snipping Tool > click Options > Uncheck "Show screen overlay when snipping tool is active" >OK
Open the email where the picture is > open Snipping Tool > capture the picture > File > Save As > save it to a folder of your choice.

Thanks David, I will have to try this tomorrow. Need to run to work now. Will let you know.
Hello David, there has to be an easier way. On my Mac I only right click on an attached on embedded pic and can save it to the Photo Folder or do whatever. Thanks for your interest in solving my issue.
