Pasting web clips into email

I wanted to copy a couple of items from web reporting extreme low temperature and embed in an email to friends in Australia. Of course I could
send a link to the page from within Safari using standard function, but I wanted just a couple of pieces from two pages.

This was surprisingly easy to do.

1. Using Safari display item(s) you want to include.
2. Screen capture these pages (hold down on/off switch and then momentarily press app close button).
3. open photo editing app, I use Photogene, but Filterstorm is another good one and there are several others.
4. Crop out the bit you want and save to Photos, the resolution will be suitable for email as it is part of a screen capture which is already suitable
5. Start email app and write email as normal, at the appropriate place switch over to Photos and copy photo. This can be done by a long tap on thumbnail or on expanded view and select copy.
6. Double click if OS4.2 and select mail app which should open where you left off, paste photo into email.
7. Repeat for all the photos you want and send message.

Here is a screen capture of my email
