Is there a way I can copy my code with syntax highlight colors included?

I can get there via an intermediate html file (Edit->Copy Other->As a HTML Page), but would like to just copy/paste colored code snippets directly to my email (for example).

I think Notepad++ can do this via rtf, but I like TextPad.

Thanks!

After doing a little searching, I was not able to find an easily scriptable solution to convert the HTML to RTF. If that is possible, and someone posts it here, I'll run with it and see what I can do.

In direct answer to your question, it does not appear possible from within TP.

You could make an enhancement request for a Copy Other>As RTF feature.

Consider Windows' Snipping Tool. Type "snippingtool" into the Run... box. You can take a screenshot of any portion of the screen you like. Save it to the desktop, then attach it to your email.

That's an interesting idea.

I wonder why this has not been implemented.
Since "copy as html" is already there, the only thing to be done is generating 5 lines of header and setting the clipboard format to Html:
Clipboard.SetText(HtmlText, TextDataFormat.Html);
