So, we can yank HTML that we cut from Firefox like so:
(gui-get-selection nil 'text/html)
... sort of.
I've put the result into a binary file so it'll hopefully survive the
email transport.
selection.bin
Description: Binary data
So... what is that? I've tried to google, but I found nothing
promising, so my Google-fu is probably bad.
It rather looks like it's UTF-16 -- every other byte is a nul. But
Emacs claims that it's iso-8859-1. And... I've tried decoding various
instances of these things like UTF-16, and it almost kinda works, but
not quite.
Any ideas?
