Is there a way to copy text from emacs with faces in Windows?

Question

Every now and then I run into a situation when I need to email a piece of code from emacs. When I paste text into my email program (not emacs), all the color highlighting is lost. This is especially disappointing when pasting from org-mode, which relies heavily on colors for readability. It would be good to preserve font faces.

Is there a way to do this? I am looking for output similar to that of ps-print-buffer-with-faces.

Answer 1

Suppose your email program can handle html, try M-xhtmlfontify-buffer, which converts the contents of the current buffer (with faces) to css-styled html.

Works very well, currently part of emacs. I had to upgrade from emacs-22.3. Thanks. – Cavite
