OK.  So, in HTML mail in Evolution, pictures *can not* be saved, right?

They are HTML emails, evidently.  So, the pictures are not attachments.
I just want to "Edit as New Message", and give it new recipients.



Also, is there a "reveal HTML"/raw editor mode available for Evolution.


While we're here:

1. Is there a VI editor mode?

2. Because I'm accustomed to using VI, I hit <ESC> often, which is 
dangerous in Evolution because it wants to cause me to void out my
new email.


Thanks and TIA again.
