I said that these people are "are the reverse of computer savvy". And 
they use the web mail interface, not TB. Saving the photos as files is 
specially difficult for them. Or sharing photos using the "Photos" app 
of Google instead.

Anyway, keeping photos in email might make them easier to find, there is 
text and content for searching.

I don't save the photos as files immediately, either. When I remember, I 
take a morning to search for them and store them. Doesn't mean I delete 
the emails, because they have text.
