this would be absolutely brilliant. i think right now, it slows me down to have to drag and drop an image from my windows 10 file explorer into the desktop app… if i could just copy / paste that’d be sick!

it’s real easy to take a snip or capture a region using a desktop app like ShareX and being able to take that clipboard image into the email world would be radical.

i hope this feature somehow makes it’s way into the desktop app 🤞 🤞 🤞
