You insert a link by clicking on the URL in the address bar of your browser
and pressing Ctrl+C. You then press Ctrl+V to paste it into a message. In
this case, that is
http://stockimg.free.fr/wallpaperlinks/divx/cinema/spiderman.jpg. If I
right-click on that image and choose Save Picture As, I have no trouble
saving spiderman.jpg to any desired folder. If you can't do that, have you
tried clearing the cache as I suggested?

FWIW, you don't have to double-click an image in Google Images results; a
single click suffices.
