Curt, you're making suggestions faster than I can try them! Thanks! :D

The Auto Context add-on in Firefox partially works. For the experiment, I set Outlook 2003 to send HTML by default, then copied the text via Auto Context. What I got was most of the fonts, but no colours and (I think) no underlining. I suspect that the problem there is with Outlook, not Firefox + Auto Context. At least it's a small improvement, thanks.

Now I have to look at SendPageByMail too :)

I thought IE might work, but use Firefox as my default browser.

Veign:
When you copy and paste do you have the Email format set to RTF? What is the default format for sending emails (menu -> Tools -> Options -> Mail Format)?

My default format is RTF and I get basic formatting when copying (ctrl-c) out of Firefox and pasting into a new email.

Carol Haynes:
If you cut and paste HTML you probably won't have the CSS stylesheet (if any) which will alter the look of the email format too.

Curt:
- my IE7 will send it as a nice HTML email, not attached.

While we're at it, you may want to install http://sendpagebyemail.mozdev.org/ for Firefox

- this extension is totally weird. In Internet Explorer I have never have had to answer a single question, when using Send Page, except of course for naming the receiver, but I have just spend half an hour to answer all sorts of different questions in order to take sendpagebyemail into use. And in the end I must have clicked some wrong button, because the page was merely attached. :(

However, I must say the quality of the attached html page was sublime! :up:
