Are they in amongst the text or attached as a file?

 

[Robbi]

attached as seperate photos, it says i can down load as a zip but no idea what that means

 

[Shewie]

Download that zip file to your desktop or wherever and then open it, it should contain your pics (.jpgs)

You'll need to have winzip installed to open them if you don't already, it's still free I think.

Lol, download that zip file and tell me what happens bud

You need to download them off the email basically, at the moment they're still on the email rather than saved on your PC. Sending stuff as a zip file allows the sender to reduce the size (in mb) to something which will be allowed through the email system, piccies can be 5 or 7mb each for example, sending a bunch of those can sometimes be a problem for the recipient. The guy who sent the pics to you used Winzip to compress the file size down, you need to use it again at your end to make those files bigger again.

Can you not just look at the picture, right click- save/send image to wherever (my piccy's/doc's ect) and then use a host service?

It sounds complicated, but its really easy once you've done it a few times
