I can save individual images by right-clicking, but is there a simple way to
batch-save all embedded images that appear in a single email message in
one fell swoop? 
I am using Gmail in Firefox on Windows 7 pc

My friend if you ever figure out a way give me a call. I have been wanting to do this for ages. This and being able to download attachments from multiple e-mails at once.

Hi Ashraf….I did come across this suggestion, but I don't understand it.
Perhaps you could clarify or simplify this solution….It does look promising!
> Select "View"/"Show as"/"Plain text" form menu, and all embedded content
> will become attachments. Now right-click in attachments pane, and select
> "Save All" (or similar :-) )
Like yourself, I have been searching for a labour saving device for this extremely
tedious chore….. in anticipation……….thanks

Hi Ashraf…..did you read the suggestion in my previous post and did it contain anything useful?
Can you say why this task so difficult or complicated to do?
There is a lot of interest amongst my friends who would also like to know how to Batch/Save.
C'mon DotTechies….please help solve this one

I read it. Until now I haven't had a chance to try it.
The problem is I don't know how to put e-mails into plain-text in this new Gmail interface -- I knew in the old one. Any tips?

Hi Ashraf…..As I said in my second post 'I didn't understand the tip', but I did think that the reference to changing to a format that would allow them to be batch-saved, sounded promising. I think that the tip was referring to the previous version of gmail…..perhaps one of your faithfull followers may see this post and come to our rescue….hehehe!
I appreciate you going out of way to help me from your busy schedule

Hi Jumbi,
Yes, I believe in Outlook you can SelectAllImages and then SaveAs but it doesn't appear to work in Gmail in Firefox.
I would like to share an avenue that I discovered the other day which is almost what I am looking for……..
How Can I Batch-Save Embedded SWF Images From WEB PAGES
Open a web page with several SWF advertisements….Then select ALT+T+I
A PageInfo dialogue box opens….select the Media Tab
In the Address box appears containing all of the page files……select the embedded files (usually greyed out)
Click SaveAs to a file…..works great!
I would like to find something like this ….but for my Gmail images.
Good luck to all in 2012
