It pretty much works the same way for all PBEM games. You need to first save the file into the game directory (generally in the same directory you save regular games too) and then launch the game and load it like you would any other saved game you were playing just by yourself.
Though you bring up a great point. It should actually work the way you describe. It wouldn't be a difficult change but I think we are all just use to doing things the hard way...
