- How do I copy a bunch of bookmarks into an email body?

[PaulM]

Just do an Export. It will make a file Bookmark.html .

Try this, open IE, on the File menu, hit Import and Export, follow the
screens, select Export Favorites, ultimately, you'll come to a screen that
allows you to choose a location. Choose a location and make not of it, then
continue by hitting next. When finished, you'll have an HTML document
listing all your favorites, something you can open and view by the way.

Now, since you don't want it to be an attachment, first make sure the e-mail
format in which you are sending is HTML, now open the favorites HTML
document you created earlier, on the Edit menu, hit "Select all." Now hit
copy, then paste it into the body of the e-mail.

That should do it. Understand, if the person on the receiving end is set to
only read e-mail in plain text, it will still come to that person as an
attachment but there are only so many things we can control.:-)

Many thanks for pointing this one out, Michael! I never noticed it before.
(How long has it been a part of IE, I wonder?)

One other thing I should mention. This is an excellent means of backing up
your favorites. Also, it's a great way to move them to a new computer. The
file is small enough to go on a floppy, just copy if from the floppy to a
temp folder on the new computer, open IE, go to File, select Import and
Export and this time choose Import favorites, navigate to the location and
follow the screens. When done, your favorites will be on your new system.
