First off, when you select that message, you *should* see the text of the message (and possibly the photo) in the preview window (the large window on the lower right). Just above the preview window, there should be a triangle, and next to it, the word "Attachments:" and the name of the attachment. If you click the triangle, another little window should drop down and show a listing of attachments, and three buttons: Open; Save; and Remove. Highlight the name of the attachment in that window, and select Save (navigate to the folder you wish to save it in). One possible problem though - if the photo is in the AOL's "art" format, you're screwed. Only AOL's software can open the "art" formatted files. If it's a standard JPEG or GIF, then you should have no problem. Otherwise, ask the sender to re-send it as a standard JPEG attachment.
