You probably have to "open" the email before attempting to highlight its contents.

Your topic title mentions a photo.  Then, in your message, you said "paste a photo of text", which makes no sense.   We need some clarification.   Do you want to copy and paste text OR a photo?

You could right-clicking on the photo and saving it someplace. Then, you may be able to open it in a paint program such as GIMP or Photoshop and get to the text that way.

If what you described is accurate, that you have a photo of some text, then you will NOT be able to highlight it and copy the text out of the photo.  If you can't do the translation by reading the text from the photo and you have to have the text in a text file in order to process it with some sort of translation software, there are 2 ways you could do it.  You could read the text from the photo and manually type it into a text file or you could use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to attempt to convert the text in the photo to a text file.  OCR software often is included with scanners so, if you own a scanner, you may also have some OCR software.  If not, use your favorite search engine to locate some free OCR software to download.
