It is, teena, if you know which file you want to save your piccies in.

simply right-click with your mouse on the name of one of the pictures in your e-mail (Picture0001.jpg for example) and go to Save all.
You should get a box with the names of all the files you want to save (if you hold down the Ctrl button and click any files you DON'T want to save then they should un-highlight).
Underneath will be the name of a file and to the right of this will be a Browse button - click that and select the file you want to save in and then click on Save and you should be done.
Window XP?
If the image is in the mail body and not as an attachment, position your cursor on the pic and right-click, select "save picture as" and take note of where the image is going to be saved to.
I always select 'My Desktop", then I know instantly where they are and can easily store or edit them from there.
The two replies already here cover all you need to know, but as a general help if you right-click (with the mouse) on any object (eg. file, folder, program etc) you will usually get what's called a "Context-sensitive Menu" which is just a clever way of saying that it gives you different options to deal with the object depending on its' type (eg. if you right-click on a photo or audio file it will give you options to Save, Rename, Delete etc. but also for example to "Open with Media Player" because its' a media file). It can save a fair bit of time an avoid having to constantly open Windows Explorer to handle your objects. Hope this helps.
