Very nice. I think the kind of folks attracted to this thread might have some thoughts on a workflow I'm interested in.

When I see a news article, I want to be able to click a button on my Mac or iPhone to send the text of the article in the body of the email. Bonus points for rehosting the images from the article. And using a similar font both without carrying over any of the original external dependencies.

Normally it’s good to support the journalist but I cannot in good conscience send a link to elderly folks when this is so much safer.

Use the browser reader mode, select all, right click send email. Is it something like that you want?

Thank you! Great trick that comes pretty close.

If only there was a faster way to „select all“!

(if you’re down to experiment!)

For the next three intriguing articles you see on arbitrary sites, does the select all trick produce an aesthetically pleasing email? Do external dependencies get carried over? Do you spend any time manually removing cruft? Does the formatting leave anything to be desired?

When I do this all manually I can make it look great, and now that we’ve seen we can train computers to make stuff look great, it’s going to be a point of frustration for me until I have the one-click beautiful-article-email button.
