You should just be able to hold your finger down on the photo for a few seconds then a pop up menu will come up offering you the option to save the photo.

Tap and hold down on the photo and a Save option will pop up. Tap Save and the photo will go into the camera roll in the photos app.

So you are just seeing the photo as an attachment not the actual picture?

If so, the link to the photo may be bad.

Did you look in the camera roll in the photos app?

If it could save it then it went to the Camera Roll in Photos.

Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos and see if you need to enable anything in there in order to save Photos. There is also a setting in Restrictions - Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos that might prevent you from saving photos if it is enabled.

Tap on Albums at the top of the photos app and them see of the camera roll appears. The camera roll is an album in the photos app.
