Welcome to ipf,
If I understand you correctly, in your mail application you have a photo folder, where you have saved emails with photos into?
If this is the case, if you touch and hold the photo, a save photo option comes ups, as well as a copy option.
I hope you find this forum as informative and addictive as I do!
