How to Save Pictures From Emails on My iPhone

If there's a photo attached to an email message that you've opened on your iPhone, it's easy to save the photo on the iPhone. The iPhone saves the photo in the Camera Roll, the same place the iPhone stores the photos you take using the iPhone's camera.
