Saving e-mailed photos

[Pat]

I have saved photos e-mailed to me in Outlook Express in the past by
right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Save Picture As." Today when I
right-clicked on a photo I am getting this message: "The system cannot find
the file specified" and then it tells me I need to reinstall the file:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.hlp Help file." I do not know how to do this.
Can someone please walk me through it so that I can save photos once again.
Many thanks!

Who sent you this HTML email message with the (embedded) pix?

If you Forward this message to yourself, do the pix show up in the received
message? If so, can you save the pix from that email?

Well, that was easy. Yes, sending the e-mail to myself enabled me to save
the photos. Thank you! I bet you can explain why this happened? The photos
were from a relative. Thanks again!

Long story short: The pix embedded in the original message were from an
online source, not your relative's machine. Usually seen in Forwarded (and
multiply-Forwarded) messages, especially if one or more people in the "chain
of Forwards" are AOL users.
