Thanks, Patrick.  You're a genius.

As I indicated above, when I right-click on the image I get a pop-up with a 
number of options including "save image on disk" and "save attachments", 
neither of which work.  BUT after reading your reply and looking again at that 
pop-up, I noticed an option to "show message structure".  When I do that, the 
embedded message components are shown in a structure list, including the image 
jpg's.  Right-clicking on the jpg filename brings up another pop-up which 
allows me to "save as ..." and to open the file in an app such a gwenview; 
both of these options work.  This solves my problem!

Thanks again.
