email system for programmers idea

Post by phpdevuk »

I was just working on something for a friend and had an idea, I was copying and pasting from hotmail and got to thinking wouldn't it be good if it had similar functionality like these forums so code could be posted in code blocks etc.

also thought it would be good to have a link to copy and paste each code block, like codeblock1,codeblock2...

anyone know of anything like this or think it'd be a cool idea to setup?

html email would support all but dynamic copy and paste. It wouldn't be excessively hard to make an extension to Firefox that could dynamically parse and highlight blocks of some "unified" tag.. either, the extension could easily add the copy and paste logic at the same time as well.
