how to save jpeg email attachment to iphoto?

i'm an iphoto (and mac os x) newbie, and i can't figure out how to save a jpeg attachment that someone has sent me so the image shows up in iphoto. what is the easiest way to do this? i'm using apple mail and iphoto 6 on a macbook pro running os 10.4.5. although occasionally i'd like to save jpegs from my web-based hotmail account too. thanks

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The easiest way to do this in Mail is; next to the attachment field in Mail, you'll see Save & Slideshow. Use the Save pull down menu to "add to iPhoto" & the Slideshow is just what it says, it will do a slideshow of the photos in your email attachment.

I don't use Hotmail, but I'm sure all you do is click on the image, File>Save>Desktop. From there you can drag the image into iPhoto. Or simply drag the image from Hotmail to your Desktop or directly into iPhoto.

I hope that was helpful.

Thanks for your reply, Joe Gramm. I didn't realize you could click on that triangle to get a pull-down menu... I had been clicking the save button and getting a finder window, then not knowing where to save the photo. Problem solved!

You award points by marking questions helpful or solved. So I really appreciate it, Thank You. In the old discussion boards, you were awarded points just by the number of posts you had. Now you have to work a little harder & depend on the originator of the thread to award the points.
