    I got mail with 10 photos with comments along with letter (which are displayed one by one, after the letter). The photos were not attached as a separate attachment. When I try copy paste method, only the first photo is saved -without the comment.I want help in download the photos along with comments in the letter (without the letter content). If u want I will take a screenshot & send it.

      There should be a download option which you can click and save the photo.

      Yes, it will be better if you post a screenshot.

    Hello, this is how:

    – open gmail
    – open the email where the attachment is
    – it should give you two options, view or download
    – click on download
    – it will download attachment to your default download folder

    It is just a matter of clicking on download option, at the end of the mail.
    Do you have any other problem, regarding this ?

    1) Open the message containing an attachment.
    2) Click Download at the bottom of the message. This will save the attachment to your computer.
