I agree - hardly anyone will have set up to use email within an image and I'm all for simplifying menus where possible. Copy to clipboard seems by far the more useful option here.

Mind you, it would be nice if people *did* frequently use email in Squeak! Given how my email (Mac OS mail app) regularly seems to get worse, perhaps it's time to write a really good email client. Yes, I've looked at others and mostly concluded they're even  worse. 

My ideal would be a single UI that composites emails, twitter-like stuff, skype & Messages traffic, and anything else in the field. You might even persuade me to use Slack if it was all in one.
