I find that it's better not to clog someone's emailbox with unnecessary attachments.

For example, someone recently posted a text based joke in picture format (why?). Instead of attaching a picture of text, you could perform a quick Google search for the actual text, and then copy and paste the text rather than a JPEG into your email. Alternatively, post a link to the picture and let your friend decide whether she wants to download it.

For example ...

Note that the second URL (from the GN forum) expires in a matter of days.

 

I use an iPad and just hold down on the pad and save image pops up and I click on that and then it's in my pictures folder, just attach to an email from there .

I agree, there are too many jokes that were passed around that we are now seeing reappearing in graphical form. The picture form with just the original text adds nothing to the joke, all it does is adds to the internet traffic and destroys the download limit of those on limited download budgets.

On the other hand the simple cartoon jokes are worthwhile. To forward them save them to hour disk first and then add them to the post using the appropriate link below the insertion pane (attach files - in this forum.) To save the graphic from the original posting, right click on the picture, select "save image as" and then follow the prompts to save it in your favoured spot on the computer.
