[QUOTE="dbm, post: 1556221, member: 184286"] What is probably happening there is that the Mail app is not downloading the image by default, so (since it hasn't been downloaded) you can't drag it onto your desktop or anywhere else. Do you have a button at the top of you email which says 'Load Images'? If so, that is what is happening. The reason that images are [i]not[/i] downloaded by default is that this is one way Spammers can identify that your email is real (downloading the image passes information on who downloaded it) and once they have done that they will sell on your address to other Spammers! Consequently, you should only download the images if they come from a source you trust and you gave them your email address already. Once an image [i]has[/i] been downloaded you can drag it onto your desktop etc. as you like. [/QUOTE]
