save a gif from withing an email - no save option on right click?

[juniper]

I want to save Gifs that have been sent to me within emails but i get no save
option on right click. (I also cannot drag and drop to the desk top - i get a
'scrap' object).
All I want to do is save and file (and reuse) images that people have
supplied to me within emails. Why no save option?
Any help please?
Jules.

Thanks but I don't get ANY options to save when I right click.
When i right click i just get:
Cut, Copy, Paste, Format etc. NO OPTIONS TO SAVE.

Is there a setting I need to tweak?

No, that option just isn't there. That is why I created a macro which you
find in the guide I referred you to which can do just that; save an embedded
gif file for reuse ;-)

Yes it does save the embeded images thanks!
It's a bit clumsy of Microsoft to omit this is it not?
Unfortunately this macro may be a bit involved for my 20 remote colleagues
to implement but I will pass it on.
Thanks again.
