Many times when I am trying to explain something, I am creating a print screen from a Web page (or other region of my screen), cut some area and mark some fragments (for example by red lines).

In most cases I am doing this operations in simple graphic editor (for example MS Paint) and copy/paste it to e-mail program.

Is there any plug-in for mail programs (Outlook, Thunderbird) which can simplify this operation? For example by adding - "attach print screen" - after clicking on it you can select a region of your screen and in the next step mark some fragments.

    I dread the bloated emails containing images instead of a little clear text.

On Windows 7, press Start and search for 'snipping tool'. This will provide the partial capture and basic editing you require.

Even without this, you can press ALT+Printscreen to capture only the current active window.

If you are using the Google Chrome browser, the 'Awesome Screenshot' plug-in will allow you to take a screen capture of either the visible portion of a page, an entire page, or a selected area of the page. Once the screen shot is taken, it will bring you right into an editor where you can perform any marking/annotating you wish, and finally once you have it edited to your liking it will give bring you to a page where you can copy/paste or save your final draft of the shot. Hope this helps!

"FastStone Capture" (shareware) has the option to send output to your (default) email client (among other places). (And can do editing & any number of other nice things.)
