It's embedded in the email. And you probably can save it. The email
might have a js lockout or something, or it might be Flash, but save the
email as a separate file and then open it and try to save the pic.

If "paste" is blacked-out, try ctrl-V. Possibly you need to
disable/customize your javascript, but I've never seen that locally with
mail.
