This bug still affects Evolution 2.32.2.

Quite frankly I struggle to believe that you can't save embedded base64
images from a mail to a file. This is basic functionality for a mail
client in 2011. Noone, especially "mum & dad" users, should be expected
to have to do their own view source & base64 decode themselves.

Seriously guys.

Title:
  User unable to save attached/embedded images

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  User received email with embedded images as forwarded message,
  evolution 2.30.3 rendered images correctly but didn't allow user to
  save images.  When selecting image, user were only prompted with
  context menu option of coping image or saving whole email but not the
  image alone. Coping option didn't allow user to paste image in to
  Desktop folder.

  Expected results:
  When same email was forwarded to Mac OSX Mail client, an attachments were detected correctly and allowed user to easily extract images in form of attachment. Same process should be applied to Evolution mail client.
