How to copy a picture from an email or Web page
I received an email from someone who wanted to know how to copy a picture from his Outlook Express mail. I assume the picture is in the body of the email and not just an attachment. It’s very simple to copy a picture from any HTML formatted email as well as from many other kinds of documents and from Web pages. Right-click the picture to open the context menu. The entries in the menu will vary somewhat depending on the type of document and your browser but among the entries you will find the choices “Save Picture As..” and “Copy” (Internet Explorer) or “Save Image As..” and “Copy Image” (Firefox). Examples of right-click context menus are shown below. If you select “Save Picture As…” or “Save Image As…”, the usual dialog will open where you select the location and name for the picture file to be saved. If you select “Copy” or “Copy Image”, then you can paste the picture into another document in the usual way.
