Visual Studio copy/paste into Outlook with standard formatting?

Question

I have custom settings in Visual Studio that include a dark background. Copy/pasting to Outlook produces a crime against eyeballs with a dark background in code on a white background of the mail.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can paste code in standard VS formatting (NOT unformatted text from paste special, and not paste with my custom VS formatting)?

(Alternatively, does anyone know a quick way to switch between themes in VS? Thinking that could also work...)

Answer 1

This add-in adds a command to copy in plain text: VSHelper

Answer 2

Ok so the closest I got was using CopySourceAsHtml which also allows you to define custom css styles for that copied html. I peeked at the css styles when copying code from the default VS theme and copied them over.

Got me 90% there which is good enough - no black code backgrounds on white email backgrounds!
