Send snippings via gmail,hotmail

I imagine I'm missing something obvious, but I've just installed the snipping
tool and would like to send a snipping via gmail-- not as an attachment, but
simply as part of the body of the email. I tried copying & pasting, but it
doesn't seem to work; anyone know how to do this?

Re: Send snippings via gmail,hotmail

Ahh the limitations of web based software...

This probably won't work. GMail doesn't have rich access to the clipboard
the way a desktop application would. In order to do what you want, GMail
would need to be able to access the raw bitmap data in the clipboard and
then compress and inline that. But since HTML supports neither this rich
clipboard access nor inline images (image data embedded in the message) then
this won't be possible unless Google made some kind of plugin to do it.

Can you use GMail with POP3/SMTP? If so you could use Outlook or Outlook
Express to do that.
