Upgraded to ics lost features

Upgraded to ICS last week. Please with the speed and stability but not happy about two features that disappeared.

1st - when on the internet I could select an image or video and select share. Now I have to save it to my phone first then compose the message (email or text). Extra steps and i have to remember to delete something i didn't want to save.

2nd - Can no longer save attachments from email or yahoo mail. Before I'd use the long tap on the item and a menu would come up with share, save, etc. This is gone now.

I use these two features quite a bit and i'm half tempted to trade phones with my wife since her's is not yet upgraded. Have looked for an app but not found something that works yet.

Phone is a HTC Sensation, about two months old.
 
I have the share link when I long press an image in the browser, I use Dolphin, I don't know if that matters.

I save attachments from Gmail, I don't use the regular email app or yahoo.
 
I also use Dolphin as my browser and it does have great options for sharing within the browser/webpage.

I do NOT use the gmail app however as I use multiple email accounts through multiple providers and I am very upset that the ability to save or share attachments is no longer available. I use this often enough to not be happy with my upgrade. AND I also have not yet found an app that would fill this void. ANYONE that finds a workaround to this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. No reason why I should not be able to save my attachments so that I may use my SD card as mobile storage.

The ONLY 2 things that do make me regret my most recent purchase from an original EVO to the EVO lte w/ ICS v4.0.3 are this and the absolute NEED for a dedicated search key on this device. They added a dedicated camera button of which has a double press feature so it would have been so easy to allow me to utilize a single press in the hardware design to launch a search.

This deletion means I must look for creative ways to search within some apps now that don't have specific search icons built in when it used to be as simple as tapping one button. And I have to say the long press on the home key was a much better way to launch recent apps. This does NOT need its own dedicated button.
