How do I email a photo received in a text message on a 6s?

My wife sends me a text message with 3 photos. How do I email(forward) these photos without saving each one individually? I can save one photo and go back to the message and save the next photo, but what a pain. After touching the photo about 10 times I can select More and highlight the bubble next to photos and press the arrow in the lower corner. I can enter an email address and hit send. The phone acts likes its sending but it doesn't. I have verified the address by sending text in email just fine.

The forward option in Messages is to forward a text message. You can't email a text message. If you have saved the photos, you can open the Mail application, create an email, and attach any of the photos or videos that are in your Photos library.
